RE: SUPER REAPER MAIDEN FLIGHT SOON NEED ADVISES
Siddus74.
I have been flying a Reaper for almost 3 seasons now. The trick to land is to get the plan into HIGH ALPHA. Flying slow, nose high with the throttle controlling altitude. If you do this, the landings are short and quite easy. Remember, if set up correctly, The Reaper will not stall. Rather, the canard stalls, the nose drops a bit, it pick up speed and keeps flying. Real gentle.
The thing I most noted. This plane bleds off speed quickly. Try pulling high g turns without adding throttle and the plane slows and tucks it nose down. You come out of the turn pointing downward. Rudder helps to prevent this, to a point. So I learned to keep the speed up and do sweeping turns.......
Mine has retracts in the wings.....Be gentle on them. The foam core wing is not the stongest around the gear.
