Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Yea it is a big jet. Might even be tough to cover with 4 standard length rolls of Monokote. I went ahead and bought two 25 rolls of the film for mine. Overkill, I know but it's always handy to have the extra on hand for those other projects to come along. I chose to use insignia blue and yellow with metallic red trim. Will cover the hatch with the aluminum color like what Bruce did with his.

One question I have is where to mount the valves for the fuel and gas. I didn't see it posted anywhere in the plans or instruction book. I guess I'll figure that out when I get there. But still it would have been helpful information for those of us who are brand new to turbines.

Does anyone have a list of recommended readings on flying these things. Mainly in preparation for the AMA waiver.
