<DIV>I have just purchased a Great Planes Reactor (the big one) to see how the
new design ARF's compare with all the old standard favorite 4-Stars,Sticks
etc.</DIV>
<DIV>I outfitted this $169.00 airplane with a YS-63 and used what I had for
radio equipment. This ARF is complete the only thing that you need to get
it flying is a small amount of thin CA and 30 min Epoxy and about a day to
put it all together.</DIV>
<DIV>This airplane will perform all pattern sequences and reminds me of my
Impact only smaller. Vertical is unlimited Knife edge is near perfect snaps are
a breeze and it stops on line every time. </DIV>
<DIV>You have to play with the control throws at first to tame them down since
they are very large designed for 3-D,( It's a shame that they don't make a
version with smaller control surfaces) but you can make the ones furnished
work.</DIV>
<DIV>The airplane weighs in at 5lbs 10 oz ready to fly and can also be
built with Electric power </DIV>
<DIV>For anyone who wants to try pattern this airplane will be competitive and
beats the fire out of all the old standard sport plane design's BTW Stall turns
are a piece of cake and perfect every time.</DIV>
<DIV>We have entered a new era where all of the ARF Mfg.'s have used what
pattern has developed, shrunk it down to make it affordable and broaden their
market and as a guarantee they added 3-D capability without destroying what
it was originally. (A Pattern Design) My advice to any beginner is forget
all of the old designs get you one of the new ARF's and the only thing that will
make you UN competitive is lack of practice.</DIV>
