Almost finished assembling my Reactor, so far so good. Lots of thought was put into designing this plane. I find bipes are usually a pain to assemble, but not this one.
I paticularily like the way the top wing attaches, the wing jig makes it easy. The magnets for the cowl are a great idea, provided they hold of course. Having the covering pre cut for the vertical and horizontal stab is also a time saver.
I like the way the wheel axles are not just screws. The only problem I've found so far is that my wheel pants don't fit properly against the landing gear. The hole for the axle isn't drilled correctly in the pants and the pant won't fit up against the landing gear. Did anyone else experience this problem?
Malcom,
My wheel pant holes were slightly off, but it's an easy fix. Once aligne they stay on very well. As for the cowl magnets, I've got 4 flights on mine and so far, so good!

Steve - how did you fix your wheel pants?
I could of course redrill the holes, but they would be so close together I didn't think that would work very well - is that what you did?
