I was looking at the Great Planes web site and and was shocked to see this new airplane. I don't know how to bring the picture over here . But i'm really excited to get me one to bad they used orange on it instead of the same scheme they used on the little electric airplane but i'm really they came out with this larger version. I really want a50cc version but i'm stoked about this 60 sized one I'm going to build mine electric. Thank you Great Planes

Hmmm....might have to be a Reactor nerd and get one of those too! I have the 58" version, and am ordering the 50cc in the next month or so, as I've been gathering the servos and batteries, etc, so I might as well get this one this winter. Looks like a good home for a new OS 1.10 alpha maybe...

Dang that thing is cool. I already have the 58" Reactor at home with a Saito 82 in it. It is one of the easiest flying planes ever! Maybe I will finally get a biplane!

Here you go.  Very nice!

Sign me up. I have the 58" also. I really like the colors.... Another one to make room for.

I will probably also get one. I've built two Reactor .46 size, one with an OS 55 AX that I sold, my current one is electric.

I also have the Reactor bipe, if the .60 size flieslike the smaller oneit will be great. Since I'm now 100% electric I wish Great Planes had designed the .61 bipe to be electric only - it would be lighter that way. But it still looks great. Great Planes seems to be releasing the planes that I am most interested in lately - I'm also interested in the Sequence to practise some pattern flying.

I think this plane is going to rock especially with o.s. 11o . I own all the reactors bipe and the two mono wings im over the color scheme . The best thing is i know great planes will have this bipe priced good

Don't forget about the new .95AX

fanoffive0

Can you post a link to the 95AX?

malcolmm

I don't know about that. It is now up on tower hobbies - $300. Not a bargain by any means, the prices of ARFs have certainly go up a lot in the last year.

kochj

comes with a laser cut ply-balace stand!.....that sould be a nice little item for most planes..

kochj

Price wise, one can include the 25$ off certificate, and no shipping if they are a tower member....

THat is a nice price if you look at it like that............

I look at it though, as the large 1.60 runs 450$ and the .46 sized runs 200$ than, if they stick to plans....
it will be around 525$ for a 1.60 sized reactor biplane.
I have mainly gone GAS, instead of Alcohol, and the bigger one looks more promising at this point.....

I would love to see as 150cc sized Reactor Biplane!.....That would give QQ's Pythons a run for there money, in the Fun-fly catagory.....

zac dady

Oh yeah 150 cc reactor bipe would be so awesome  never even dreamed of that i'm going to go over to the greatplanes web site and leaving a little message about that it also needs to have a tunnel for canisters.  I like your thinking if you were in nebraska i would buy you a beer.

kochj

Thanks...
I alsways wondered why some of the planes Isee weren't superzized (not in any affiliation to McDonalds)

A 100-150cc pattern plane would be a blast......................


It would be very stable pattern flyer to say the least!...

malcolmm

Yes, that is a reasonable price. Too bad I'm in Canada - we don't have deals like that. I will have to pay around $350 to $375, plus 12% tax.

I was just up in ITNL. Falls area....Kabtogoma-fishing ....
It was awsome!......

How did the CG come out? What servos did you use. Looks good.

mfuess

I put one battery over the CG, and the ignition pack up front. It balanced perfectly. I used Hitec HS625MG servos for all thecontrols.

Here are all the details:tech.flygsw.org/

mfuess, looks nice! read your thread on the link; sounds like it flies pretty nice. What size tank are you using for fuel? I like that you weighed it full of fuel. Will be interesting to see how it would turn out with something like an OS 1.10 full of fuel for a weight comparison...

Like most of you, I'm a Reactor addict! I started off with the electric bipe and absolutely love it. After having it over a year, Ijust maidened my Reactor .46 monoplane (with Saito .82) and I love this plane! I was just about to go buy the electric Monoplane when I saw the add for the new Bipe. Ibought it from Tower the first day it was in stock and it's sitting downstairs in the box...ready to be assembled.

I already know what radio gear I'm gonna use, but I'm still contemplating power. I was leaning toward the OS FS-91II w/pump, but after looking at the new OS 110, it looks like a win/win. It's lighter, more power and mounts in the same space. The only thing would be the muffler. If the straight header pipe is long enough to clear the cowl it would work nicely. I like the looks of the FS-91 muffler install, but I've had trouble with that header setup in my Super Skybolt. My Skybolt has an FS-91 and uses the in cowl header and stock header to get the muffler out of the bottom but it kept vibrating loose, even with locktite! I finally fabricated a strap from the firewall to hold it. With the Reactor and the pipe run outside the cowl I'm afraid it might be tough to keep in place.

Anyway, as usual, I'll study it to death before making a decision! But, I'm leaning towards the new OS 110.

I used the tank that came with the bipe, and changed the stopper to gasoline. I think it's a 12 oz. but not sure. I get about a 25 minute flight with it. The OS 1.10 is half the weight, but my Zenoah merely sips gas and slings a 17x6 prop at 8900 RPM. Glow fuel is way too messy for me...

kochj

Right ON my man!!!!......

Nice to see that gasser worked out well for you!!\\
Never thought that plane would handle the weight ...???

My gas powered Reactor only weighs 9 pounds, 2 ounces fueled up, and ready to fly.

Here is my website detailing the build: [link=http://tech.flygsw.org/]Gas Powered REACTOR[/link]

Do you have any idea how a zenoah 20cc would work in a GP Cosmic minnow??
