Wow, I think it is relatively new. Every time I saw the electric version I hoped that they would come out with a glow version. The only problem I see is that that covering looks seriously ugly to me.

I agree, this plane looks like a LOT of fun! Four stroke would be great, but OS just came out with a .95AX[X(]

I here you. I have one plane waiting to be put together and I figured that would be it until winter. Now they come out with this, Top-Flite releases their new P-47, Hangar-9 omes out with the new Taylorcraft and on &amp; on.

I have the Reactor 3D with a Saito .82 and it's a really nice flying planeand I only paid$139.00 for it through Towerearly last year with discounts.Topay $300.00for the bibe version is asking a little to much for this size plane in my book. Nice looking plane but I think I'll pass.

WooHoo....</p>

I sent a request for a plane like this to Great Planes via the Suggestion Box on their WebSite. I originally asked for it in a size suitable for a 1.20AX.</p>

I'm glad that they've made it, although i'm not too keen on the color, but that won't stop me from buying one.</p>

I really loved my SkyBolt and this should be another level in biplane performance.</p>

Those colors are classic, orange, blue and white, who could ask for a better bipe color combo than that.

Maybe it's my monitor at work, but to me the orange looks more like a flat Tan color.</p>

If the actual model is bright glossy orange then id be happy with that.</p>

My Venus II is a richer and much more glossy red in reality than it appears on my computer screens.</p>

It looks orange on my screen here at home.

I've also found that a lot of airplanes don't look nearly as nice in pictures as they do in real life.

To me, the Venus IInever looks good, until it's sitting in the grass pitts with the cowl on and the wings bolted on, then for some reason it looks kind of stunning

The Reactor, Venus, and UCDall remind me of each other, the UCDbeing the ugly duckling that Iprobably wouldn't adopt.
