I just got one and wanted to know about its low speed flight performance? Its on its way and im excited.

It rocks. You won't be disappointed. The build it a pain, I'd strongly recommend ditching their hardware and just using metal pushrods & tape hinges.

Whats the pain in the build? It looks good in the videos! How is it in slow flight? Is the stock motor powerful enough to shoot straight up or accelerate into a climb? I heared it tumbles very well is this true? Thanks for the help. DO you have any pics of your and the equipment?

i would get a brushless motor if i were u. I used the brushed system for about a week and kinda got bored with it. It would hover but only at full power. It also depends on how light your system is. The build was not really a pain for me but really time consuming. If u wanna use the included hardware make sure u take your time and read the instructions a few times before building the plane. But over all it is an awesome plane and u will not be dissapointed.

The plane only hovers at wot?[X(] Will it climb straight up out of a hover at all?

No with the stock motor. With the rimfire or any brushless motor you will get good results

Yeah, get the Rimfire. The Reflection can fly very slow, but the stock motor needs full throttle to hover it. The hardware is a good idea, but it is fragile and rarely fits like it is supposed too. That video is a bunch of doohickey.

SSS you cant pull out of a hover with the stock? Thats not very good. What about the vp prop? Anyone tried it?

Yeah, definatly get a rimfire on the front. Stock motor isnt really enough to get it ripping...and its heavy.
The plane will tumble readily. Hovers like its hung from a string. Great airplane. Highly agile.

Got my reflection on TP 1300 2S or FP Evo20C 800 2s setup-with a Ikarus Shockflyer prop(10.5x5 and Axi 2208/34)-loads of power and very easy pullout's from hovering to tail slides-tumbles like it's going out of fashion and on a 3s setup,it's absolutley insane!!!- with these setups I can fly in all weather conditions-up to 12mph!!- one day I'll try indoor flight.. Also built mine without cyno-just use UHU POR- very quick setting and being slightly elastic allows the joints flexabilty,unlike cyno which is quite rigid and cracks/shatters easy.
wot 4..

What other bipes compare to this bird?

Tensor 4D maybe.......

Here is what the Reflection will do on a Rimfire

There's not much out there like the Reflection. Its kinda one of its own rights. The RCuniverse bipe flys well too, but a little different.

sweet pics!

Low speed flight is GREAT with mine. It weighs in at 13 oz RTF, it will harier fly in any position at a 45 degree angle and whip around with the rudder at crawling speeds.

I have 95 flights on mine, most flights are 15 minutes. Some are as long as 22 minutes. Like already mentioned use the Rimfire motor, it has gobs of power and torque with good battery life. It will hover at 1/4 to 3/8 thottle...

It's very durable as well

Oh, and NO problems with the hardware, pushrods and so on with over 20 hours of flight time on it...

Sounds awsome! Should I get the vp prop?

I'd say sure, but 1st just use a regular prop to get used to it.

Sounds good. What is the main use of the vp prop?

VP props are used to make the plane fly backwards!

Check out #1 on that list.

How hard is it to balance on the prop like that? That was great![X(]

The only thing I found frustrating in the build was getting the control surfaces to fit on the cf rods. The manual covers how to handle this in an expert tip. You need to clean out the little retainer with your exacto knife. I had the best luck when I did both sides fairly aggressively. Luckily they put a few extra in my kit.

I think this plane flies great. I fly with a himax 2015-4166 and GP 1500 3 cell lipo. Its fairly heavy, but I wanted longer flights and there is plenty of wing for the extra weight. I only fly outdoors. Mine is starting to get beat up after nearly a year of flying.

Byp Yak 3D ARF from Eflite, but its not out yet. I am gonna get this one next. It has more wing area.

I'd get the Bipe Yak if I flew indoors more. I like my custom Reflection too much though, and it can take a little wind too.

As for balancing it on the prop, that's not hard at all. Just nose it down and reverse the prop. However, it's impossible to control it there because there's no airflow over the control surfaces. It'll always fall out of it after a few seconds.

Started the build yesterday! Deffinetley dont like the cabon rod parts. Their a pain to keep in one place[>:]
