RE: SUPER REAPER MAIDEN FLIGHT SOON NEED ADVISES
Reaper set up:
I have kept the CG as per the instructions - 530mm from the trailing edge and I have configured my reaper the same as the latest revision - NO front canard control, just elevons only +/- 12 mm. I have not fitted retracts, flaps or airbrakes either.
The model is around 17 Lbs with the main fuel tank empty and I have a KJ 66 for power. In this simple configuration, I find the model flies great at all speeds. The landings are the same as what everybody else has said - bleed off the speed or shutdown the turbine and keep the nose up, or it will bounce.
