Status: offline 		hey i was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of the Great Planes Reactor GP/EP 3D ARF .46-.70. They are now showing a picture of it on tower. Looks pretty neat, and will have to see it when it comes out in late july. Lets make this the official post for this plane.

Looks like this might be a transition from a U Can do into something more like a showtime? Might have to get one of these when they come out - I have a saito 72 collecting dust right now.

Status: offline 		Now showing it will be available in October with a pricing of $189. But that price could be off, since the link has been pulled, and you can't even search Tower and find the listing at this time.

I'm still interested in this - looking at the pic and judging the wing tube size, and wheel size, and size of the fueltank - this looks to be a lot bigger than a .46 (2c)/.70 (4c) size plane. Wondering if it's more like a 70" wing to compete with the Showtime or funtana 90/100.

Status: offline 		looks like Tower changed the ad again - although the product still isn't searchable on thier website by the product or stock numbers - here's the assembled shot.

From this pic, I have a hard time seeing this as a .46 powered airframe, but could be my eyes playing tricks on me.

It kinda resembles the World Models Groovy 3D .50

Status: offline 		That's cool then - I think I'm going to have to take the plunge on this one when it comes available - I have a saito 72 sitting on the shelf for it.

Status: offline 		Tower now shows the Reactor as being in stock.

I plan on buying one of these once the OS 55 AX comes back in stock. Has anyone got any feedback on the Reactor?

Status: offline 		Hi everyone im also planning on buying this model and using an os50sx. Will it be enough power for hovering? Also the model requires expensive mini servos like the futaba s9650, does anyone know of a cheaper analogue alternative?

Status: offline 		Hitec HS225 (nylon gear) mini for $21, or HS225MG (metal gear) for $28 at http://www.servocity.com/html/hitec_servos.html

Tower sells them for roughly the same price, but you get a slight price break on each quantity of 3 that you order. .85 - $1.00 off each.

*edit - didn't notice you were down under - might be best for you to try to source them locally eh?

Status: offline 		I just ordered a Reactor last night. I have a NIB YS 63S waiting for it. However, it will be a while before I get to it. I still have a EF Edge 540 profile and a PA Electric Shock ahead of it. I'll be watching to read the first reports as they start to roll in.
