Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Thanks Bruce... my friend took the shots yesterday while I was flying. WHen we have the Wingham Jets event in June, there will be a few more R54s and I will take some photos for you.

I forgot to mention one thing... my Behotec turbine is set up for kero start. The kerosene ignitor has to be upright for a clean, flame free start. I took the aluminum mount off, and cut some of the center part away, and then drilled a hole into the fuse to allow the ignitor body to go up into the hole. There is about 1/8" clearance around the ingitor body (which gets quite hot during start up). The mount is still very secure with the 4 bolts holding it on and the heat isnt an issue - nothing has caught fire in about a dozen runs

Just a heads up in case someone else might wonder how it was done.

And I put big contrasting bands of colour on most of my RC planes... it really does help in visability especially when you are up high and its sunny out.
