Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Well I have finally got to put the Reaction back together - all of the internals are now complete after the rebuild. The original monocoat was removed from the fuselage to repair the damage. The fuselage was glassed in 3/4oz cloth & finished with automotive paint & 2 pac clear over the top after the pin striping was applied. I had to remove the retracts from the wing to clean them up & get them operating correctly. All systems except for the fuel have been checked & operational. I have removed the wheels & brakes & some minor repairs have to done inside the brakes.

Almost ready to fly now - unfortunately my job takes me away from home & I am leaving for Perth tomorrow so there will be no test fly in the immediate future. Hopefully I will get it certified & test flown before our Jet event on the 1st-4th July. Here is the photos of the first time the wing has been on the complete plane after the rebuild.
