Super Reaper - Setup & Pictures
Thought I would post some pictures of my Super Reaper and some shots of my inside setup. I'm running a Ram 750P with the 2.5 litre main tank purchased from Jetshop.biz and a BVM UAT. Using 3" Trim wheels and brakes and Mick's nose wheel strut. I also installed 2 spars in the canards which are about 3" total lenght. I put them centered with the outer fuselage side and spaced 1/2" apart in parallel. This should stiffen them up and provide additional strength. I also mixed in airlerons to act as elevons like a normal delta type jet. Control throws were setup per Mick's recommendation. Overall it was a straight forward jet to build and so far I am extremely happy with it.
Waiting for the weather to clear up so I can put some flights on it. Also I moved the CG forward to just about 21.5" instead of the 20.8" as recommended from the plans. During the maiden flight it appeared to be a little tail heavy. Hopefully this will keep it from being too pitchy on final.
