I'm using HS 5985's and HS 5645's. However I did have a 5645 on one of the flaps go south on me after about flight #30. Both of these were swapped out for HS 5485HB's and so far no issues and the...

So Bruce, Should I talk Chris into bringing your old ship back for the day?

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

You're very welcome Chris.. Your airplane flies really nice and I can't wait to see you get to fly it more. I think the key word on landings with any of the R54's is patience.

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Well John, you really have me thinking. Always felt the 5645's were pretty bullet proof. I have to admit I'm a little spooked now, so maybe a servo change is in order. Just don't like the price of...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

I sure will. Yes, the whole project has been very gratifying but to now be getting close to a finished product is amazing. I can't tell you how good this airplane flies, the added weight just makes...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hey Jeff, Love that P-70? It's great in this airframe isn't it.. I used a BVM latch on my rear hatch, very solid, no slop, and works awesome for me. Has the pin and plate on the front, with the...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Have to admit I have friends here that are not builders, have no time to build or lack the patience, but have been very impressed with the R54 and how it flies. The prospect of having an ARF version...

Actually Roy, we are talking about trying to get a Jet meet organized for Central Oregon. Madras was nice but I think the timing was poor. Memorial day wasn't the best time to try to hold an event. ...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit
