Default RE: The GP Reflection Wins!!

When built correctly, the Reflection is one of the best kitted planes out there. It takes some advanced modeling skills, and isnt the easiest plane to construct....but WOW what a plane once its built. Superb flying plane.

You cant rush the flatouts. Many people that have built shockies and other planes think that the flatout should go together as fast as the other kits. Simply not true. The Flatouts do take longer to build because there is more stuff to assemble, and you have to fit every part. But it can be worth it in the end.

I have to admit though....if I was to build another one...The Z-bends and thin carbon pushrods are going bye bye. Ill stick with the Ikarus Shockflyer control horns and rods. They are adjustable, and you dont destroy the linkage if you have to take it off. Thats my biggest gripe about the Flatout stuff is the linkages arent adjustable. If you want to change something later...your just SOL.
