Mine flies fine with a Jetcat P70. Full throttle only used for uplines. Your 100 will be fine.

Great vid, Bob. Thanks for posting. Did you know Ali prior to the event? That's pretty cool getting him to do the maiden!

Haven't flown my ARF for several months (same color scheme as yours). ...

Jim, that's a terrific tutorial, but I think you're reaching a very limited audience. I think you should start a new thread so it can be shared with the entire jet community.

Yeah, I assembled one a few years ago for a customer with P120. Lots of batteries in the nose, still took over a pound of nose weight to balance, which surprised me. One of the reasons that PST...

I stopped being a PST dealer mainly because it was no longer fun (for a variety of reasons) or profitable (one of the reasons it wasn't fun). I still think the Reaction ARF is an excellent product!

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

Thanks John, you're right, I consider the long, skinny heat shield for the tail boom to be unnecessary. However, I do recommend using a start tube for every single start, even if you have complete...

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

Edgar, I hate to muddy the waters, but in my opinion it looks like the model may be slightly tail heavy. This shows up as pitch sensitivity during landing approach. I suggest adding 2-4 ounces of...

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

For the record, I think Edgar's idea of an inverted chair is brilliant!

I built the stand in the pic for my jets. Low-wing jets like the Reaction balance easier upside-down. Position the...

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

Since you mentioned servo arms, not sure what to recommend as far as SWB. I used the metal arms that came with my Hitec digitals. All pushrods connect to the first or second hole from the end,...

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

Will send PM on package deal (plane + gear). Sorry, don't know of any kevlar tank made specifically for the Reaction ARF. The glass tanks that come with the ARF are pretty tough - have not heard of...

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

Might be a nice combination, depending on how you like to fly. A turbine with 22 lbs of thrust on a 25lb plane (ballpark, dry) won't give you vertical out-of-sight performance. But it will still...

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

Sorry Kevin, I just don't have an answer for you. Orings are one of those things I just try to match up at a car parts store or hardware store. They are probably metric, might be tough to find.

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

I don't know Kevin... I wouldn't attack that lead until I knew for sure that it's way too much. If it's just slightly nose heavy, it might not be worth the effort to remove. If you're using...

Ahhh, I totally mis-understood your first post. With the pics, now I see the problem is with the actual skin hinge. Is it starting to tear along the hinge line? Have not heard of that happening...

Some answers for Sonicwings...

1. 3-3/4" (95mm). Whale hole should not be needed, however.

2. PST Main Struts 4-1/2" (114mm) Main Wheels 3-5/8" dia. (92mm)
PST Nose Strut 6-7/8"...

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

Socomon, I'm guessing you saw Bruce Hanson's newly-finished ARF. He is a Reaction fanatic (I call them "Reactionaries") - he's owned several wood kits and the ARF.

Mike, that's a great-looking Reaction.  And the video was great!  My hat's off to you - I probably wouldn't fly with that much crosswind, and you did a maiden flight!</p>
