You really cant put a bigger pipe in other than the stock, no room at the tail section. Thanks for the info Scott I was wondering about this myself, mine will have a P200 so we will see how it goes.

I keep telling people about your p180 and how awesome it flys with that power!

Well it's an old P200 and I had it sitting here so your p180 is probably pushing as much as mine. Wish I could afford a k210

Got a nice surprise today, got home to a box with a nice set of custom wing bags! The best wing bags I have seen to date!!!! The felt inside and the material used in construction is very thick with padding! From all the folks on facebook posting about them I can say im not the only one who got a set and loves them. Looks like you can get them to match your jet color and design. Big shout out to Scott and Pablo, nice product!

Looks like tomorrow is a snow day! Whhhooo Hoooo so I get to spend the day building!!! Starting to get cabin fever a bit and cant wait for some good weather to maiden the Rebel!


I couldnt help myself so I made a video its uploading, Cheers!

I got a call from a buddy of mine in Houston who recently maidened his rebel
pro with AMT NL Olympus HP. He was all smiles as I'm sure you will also with the P200.

After watching Pablo tear up the sky with the green one in Mississippi, I gotta admit I wouldn't mind adding one to the fleet.

Good luck with yours amigo.

Buck, I was there for the maiden, all I got to say is "WOW". One click of trim and it flew like it was on rails.

Hey Fenderbean,

Notice in one of your pictures that you partially wrapped your fuel tank with cf material. Was that a suggested modification?

FenderBean

I was originally going to do it just to add a little strength, but I accidentally cracked my tank with the shop vac so it become a repair as well not required but after seeing how easy the vac collapsed the tank and cracked it I dont think it would hurt. I wouldnt run it without a high flow system without beefing it up. That being said this is just my personal liking not required by any means. No reported issues just a personal mod/repair.

David we need to work out another trip to bowlin green when the weather improves, this thing is ready to go!!!

Sounds like a plan, hopefully my plane will be ready.

You guys are going to love this plane. I can't fly mine enough. A really straight and true flyer.

Joe, I love watching you fly your Pro, those low speed dirty passes at knee level are impressive. I have yet to see this model do anything bad!

FenderBean

Well I seem to have bad luck with jets so I will def test that theory LOL

My Feedback: (21)

Just be careful, those low slow passes are addicting.

Thanks Bob. These Pro's are just so solid at any speed.

The stock Italian made Rebel Pro fuel tank capacity is: 1.67 gallons

Most flights come back about 1/2 full when topped off! 8-10 minutes

I should have my smoke tank here tomorrow and will take a few pics and post.

FenderBean

This will be the first jet I have owned that had more fuel than needed, its normally I dont have enough so I want complain.

rbxbear44

My Feedback: (86)

Haha, yea...this thing could be a air to air tanker!!!

Received the Smoke Tank but forgot to get a pic of it before I left for a weekend trip to Chicago. It fits in the area just behind the wing tube, nicely between the two formers and under the turbine starter/FOD. It is curved to match the bottom of the fuse in that section. Allows room on each side of it for smoke pump and even a battery if your CG will allow.

The tanks looks to be about 50 oz. 'ish! It's the same material as the main tank and comes with a ring and threaded fitting for the clunk line. Had to supply and install my own air vent.

I did have to "modify" my JetCat FOD screen a bit since I am using a P-200 for this bird (it's what I had in my shop). A friend put a P-180 rxi in his and there was no need to "modify" the FOD screen.

David, I was told by Pablo and Scott, I was the only one with a Rebel Pro in the whole world and mine was a one of a kind jet...

FenderBean

LOL So was I
