RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi John!

Don't worry to much about the plug-position. In the Facet we had the plug on the P-60 exactly on 6:00. No problem with that. The only "problem" you have: If the turbine is flooded with...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Bruce and Eddie!

Thanks for the kind words. Good to hear that someone likes it :D. Ah yes, my dad likes the colour-scheme, too. Clear-coat is on, now we are waiting for it to dry and tomorrow...

In these pics you ight get an idea of the "holgrafic" effect of the different silver grains and bronze under the red paint. I like it, because the different angles of the light change...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi guys!

Just a few quick ones. I hpe you like em. It is not finished yet. My old man wanted an ordinary paint-job with all our left-overs. He didn't want the AETE-schem like on our Tutor,...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Eddie!

Guess what? :D :D We have made a few fiber-glass for different jets. It is very easy, so I would never buy a $100,-+ tank for a "bud-jet" like the reaction. We made tanks for the...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Next step was glassing the balsa-tube to get a strong surface.

After some brain-washing we came to a method of mounting the tank to the wing that seems to be good enough.

We will glue a...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Alright, here we go:

First of all I was looking for the right size of a bottle. Finally found that 0.75l water-bottle, which is very strong (not that flimsy coke-style).

I measured...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi!

Thank you for the kind words. i will post a few pics of the Centerline-tank later today. It is almost ready to go under the belly and test it (without paint). It is not perfect, but it's...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi guys!

We had a pair of drop-tanks lying around in the work-shop and played a bit with them :). luckily we put a few blind-nuts in the retract-plates during the build. Made a pair of rails...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi John!

If you are not sure about P-60 or PST: Go for the PST J-600R. It has more power, I have flown the Reaction with both inbetween two days. The Cat is lighter, but the J-600R is more fun!...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

HI Chris!

You are crazy :D. I like straight forward installations, but we went for a quick and dirty one on the reaction. We did change the turbine twice, so it is best to kepp everything simple...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Eddie!

Sorry for the late reply. The Reaction weights 8.9kg dry with the PST and would be around 0.5kg less with the jetCat. But we didn't remove any noseweight, but put a Lipo-battery in the...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Tommy!

What's the sampling rate of your Weatronic GPS? They do have wrong numbers from time to time. The speed before and after your "record" is much lower so the time-marks would be nice to...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi again!

As you see, it is still in primer, but we wanted to fly it as soon as possible. And I am not sure about the paint-job, yet. Our junior pilot said: It's just wood.... :). Flys like a...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi guys!

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Chris!

Did you try to turn your turbine? I know that all other Cat-turbines are slightly "off-set" with the stock mount. I am not sure if that'll help, but might be a start....

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Keith!

I have just received a P-60 FOD-guard from Todd and my Dad's PST J-600R "lying around" waiting for the Reaction to be build and finished. I will check later this afternoon, if TAM's...
