Default RE: GP Reactor Bipe on Realflight?

If I recall correctly the Showtime model was pretty close.

However don't go changing the engine and prop.

Quite often merely switching the engine/prop results in an uncharacteristically overpowered plane.

The response curves in the sim are set far TOO optimistically...

For instance a .46 AX engine running a 11x6 prop maxes out about 11,000 RPM on the ground and maybe 13K in the air or so.

In the sim the engine can rev up to 18k UNDER POWER. If you do the math, this gives unrealistically high power.

I normally tweak the engine response curves to get performance equal to the real deal... this includes observed straight up rates of climb.


I need to fly it again to double check.


I can make an AV of the Reactor...

What engine/power & prop for that.
