Just one more thing about the Reactor; 3 months ago when I started all this, all I cared about was a cool looking (scale-like) plane, and hopefully one that would be fun to fly. I thought pattern planes looked ridiculous and didn't understand why people wanted to fly such 'toys'. I saw a similar plane at my club, more 3D though, and made a comment about how silly it looked. It was then pointed out that these are flying machines; they are designed purely for having a great time flying them. Then I saw a pattern plane fly in a pattern contest, and it looked like it was on an invisible track in the sky - amazingly beautiful. Since that day, planes like the Reactor have become beautiful in my eyes, and planes like the Decathlon have lost TONS of appeal! I never would have expected that to happen, but it did.

It's hard to find a plane that has some scale looks but will do everything you want it to do as well, maybe with the exceptions of an Extra or and Edge or something, as these are real life planes that perform serious aerobatics.
