Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

G'Day John,
I just got back from the field after flying Reaction #2. WOW, This was the third and fourth flights and it is really starting to show its potential. It will climb vertical from a less than half throttle pass and go as high as my tired old eyes can see. Takes off in about 100 ft and lands just as good at the first one. On the second flight the wheels would not come down so I landed with half flaps and just as it was about to touch the grass, I pulled up the flaps. Not a scratch on the model. Just bent the tank breather a little. I don't know how fast but it is faster than #1. The vertical performance is spectacular. The Wren supersport throttle up speed is excelent. You can fly it almost like a glow powered model.

I had to leave early today, so next weekend I will really see what it can do.

Regards
