The GP Reflection Wins!!
AS the Absolute WORST foamy I have every put together
I flew a friends and really enjoyed it... so I put it on my Christmas list...
I was cursed by actually receiving it!.
After two days of trying to re-engineer every piece of plastic and carbon...it is in the garbage!!
I have built MANY foamies... both from kits and from scratch.
The Reflection is the most poorly over-engineered "thing" I have ever dealt with...
very few of the plastic pieces fit...and if they do......they will break... they are too brittle...
as mentioned... I have built MANY foamies...
but do to the accolades of the GP series... I figured I would follow their directions... Whoops... directions are wrong, they don't match the pictures... more re-engineering for me.
the hinges sounded really neat...
never mind, they all broke, back to the trusted blenderm!
ever one of the "control horns" had to be drilled out for the "Z-bend" clevis... none of the carbon fit without LOTS of sanding (they should include a warning....sanding carbon is bad for your health.....)
very few of the foam pieces fit without re-cutting.....
the only thing good to come out of this "kit" is the extended arms for the Hs-55 servo.....
other than that.....
for me... this was the worst experience I have had with an RC airplane....
and I have had a few....
but I won't mention them here!
so...
my rant over....
my gift in the garbage...
I move on to my shockflyer
my Nikitas animal.... and other foamies....where the designer had a FREAKIN clue!!
do NOT be sucked in by the hype..
DO NOT get a flat out...
while it may fly OK... it sure don't build well...
Good Night, and good luck
