Default RE: Official GP Reflection Build Thread!

Yeah, It looks like New Orleans will be no more. That Cat 5 hurricane is going to wipe it off the map. Im glad we are just going to get the outer fringes of it. Its about time we caught a break.

I flew the red balsa plane. WOW what a plane. You'll see it fly sooner or later, it reminds me alot of a pylon racer...like the Harmon Rocket or something. Rolls super fast, and will pull 90 on elevator before you can blink.

I stripped a 371 in it on ailerons, so I'll have to get another servo for it before I can fly it again. I had it rolling, and it went behind a tree. I lost it. Luckily it crashed into a ficus tree and not the cement driveway where it was heading. I thought for sure it was going to be back in kit form. To my amazement and supreme gratefulness, it didnt do a thing to it. Honestly, it was a miracle. The tree saved its life.

I cant wait to fly this Reflection. Mine's pretty light. Should do really well indoors. And its dead on accurate and balanced. I balanced it like they said above with a plumbline. So I should get max performance out of it.
