Default RE: Great Planes Reactor 120-160?

Hi Craigteffe, unfortunately I don´t have a video camera, but I have tried almots every 3d maneuver, except for long hoverings and torquerolls, becouse I am still breaking inn the engine. Without wind it almost doesn´t have wing rock, but with wind it does. Mine has almost 0 knife edge couple so I didn´t do any mix. 0 roll out too. And it feels very light in the air, and it remains stable even at very slow speeds.
Mine is a little over the 16lbs.
Last day out I made some knife edge loops, not perfects, but I had a great control feeling, specially in the last 1/4 of the loop.
I haven´t be able to do flat spins so I am going to add more tail weight. This will help also with hover an torque rolls. Going to see what happens with harriers.
Haven´t tried knife edge spins.
Not going to say that the reactor is the best 3d machine, but it does a great job, better than any other few 50cc airframes that i had flew in the past.
Hope that help, but a video worth more than any word!!
