RE: Great Planes Reactor ARF .46-.70 - Build Thread
It's funny that you called him my "Buddy". That is the name he goes by.[8D]
He used 9650's on the ailerons and 9252's on the rudder/elevator.
I did not look close but I am sure he used an R149DP receiver and a BP associates 4.8V NiCad battery pack, probably 1500mah.
I did notice on the bench that he used all the stock hardware.
If my memory serves he he stated that the AUW was 5.5 pounds.
One thing that he did comment on was that the low rate ailerons were super fast, which is also like the Inspire.. With the massive aileron chord its not surprising. I never fly the inspire on high rate ailerons either. I can reverse rolling harriers and stop a torque roll on low rates no problem. I know that after the first flight he dialed the low aileron rate down to about 8 degrees so that he could get a little smooter roll control.
