Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Well, I finally broke down and bought my Reaction/Bee combo which arrived this week.

Bruce, Great manual and well produced and thought out kit. I love building and working with wood.
If I can just get the time required, I should have this kit built in a month. I hope to do a light weight
glass and paint job on the fuse and film the flying surfaces. I've been modifying kits since I was
a kid and mach1_RCU and Topgun2mo have some excellent ideas I will probably incorporate.
I really needed a good grass field jets and it was mach1-RCU mods and finish that helped me
make the decision to select the Reaction over the DV8R.

I have a number of on-hand retract/strut options available, just haven't decided which to use.
Has anyone used struts about 1"-1.5 inches longer than the plans designate, if so hows the handling?
