Default super reaper

I got to fly my Super Reaper today at a fun fly and try TWO different things: firstly, there was a stiff cross wind all day and many fixed wing pilots stayed on the ground. I didnt want to dissapoint the crowd since most had never seen a real jet so I flew twice. I was surprised to find the Reaper handled the cross wind pretty good, allthough I was glad I had 30% more throw than recommended on high rate aileron. It was also a chance to test the rudders. Seemed to handle just fine. Second, it was my first try to take off from a smooth hard pack field (not grass) and the take off was much faster than my grass strip. Hope that any info we can share about the plane will help out...

I am still curious to know how that other fellow (sorry I forget your handle) got his Reaper to 14 pounds??? PLEASE let us know!?
