RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit
Guys,
I was too busy flying, and I did not have my photographer with me.
The touch and go was sort of an accident. I bounced about 2 feet into the air on the first landing and I did not think I could land and stop before the end of the runway, so I opened the throttle full and in about two seconds I was away again. Lucky the thing will fly on very low thrust.
I did some very nice figure eights with the gear and flaps down. The circles were really small and slow about 100 ft in diameter.
All the jets that my friends have seen fly are the Kangaroo type model with 30 pound thrust engines. My little R54 really opened their eyes.
It can fly straight up (with a high speed approach) and do a beautiful split "S".
Can't wait to build my next one.
Regards
