I have 75 degrees of flap for landing my long nose Reaction. I recently added 3/16" of crow (up aileron) with landing flaps. It makes the plane even more predictable in landing and reduces the...

Harvey,

Using the top of the aft fuselage as level, I measured my Reaction and found that I had 15 degrees of down thrust. I've flown this plane with a P120, P160, and now a Kingtech K140 and...

RE: Reaction ARF - PST/BTE All-Composite Sport Jet

Wow, glad you were able to get them out of the plane.

I guess this is why it's recommended NOT to charge LiPo batteries when they are in the plane. LiPo's are small, powerful, light weight but...

RE: Reaction ARF - All-Composite Sport Jet

Is there a US distributor? Earlier in the thread it suggested BTE but they don't have it on their site.
