I can not claim originality for this color scheme. I saw a full sized Citabria in this color scheme and really liked it so I cut all the monocote to mimic the shooting stars theme. Turned out quite...

I had 71 flights on mine before I sold it. I know of 2 owners in between that time when I managed to get it back. It is being outfitted for this coming year so hopefully I can put more flights on it....

I have to admit, I am glad I have the R-54 back. I have been to a lot of events since I sold it and was envious of the others I have seen flying at those events. Yes, I had what I called a smoke boat...

I still have a few good years in me. I just found out the Reaction R-54 I built a bunch of years ago has surfaced in the local area and I have agreed to buy it back. Most of my time has been...

Nice to hear from you Bruce. Those were memorable days and I am glad I was able to be a part of the jet scene for so many years.

I built my R-54 in the Fall of 2007 with a PST 600-R for power. I saw a full size Citabria with a blue over white with stars paint scheme and used it on my Reaction. I flew it for two years and about...

I used what I called my "smoke boat" that I had attached to my AV8R and modified it to fit on my R-54. The smoke boat contained the tank, an old turbine fuel pump, a brushed speed controller...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

John

Yes, for a Fury driver, slow will a different mode of flying. But then when you get the R-54 to kite in a slow breeze, there is some satisfaction to slow flying. The only negative I see in...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Way to go John, welcome to the R-54 bunch. I sold mine last year to complete another project and like everyone else who has done the same, I could kick myself. It was the sweetest flying bird in my...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Give Bruce a call at 1-800-557-4470 and see what his plans are for re-stocking the kit. He has different projects on the burner all the time and can give you an idea of when he can put a new batch...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

WOW!!! Can't believe I have had it backwards all these years. I just looked at the colored schematics and put things together from their diagram. I never did see a photo so I will have to go back...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

It's just easier to plug in the canister, externally, rather than trying to find space for it in the airframe. I have had the Boomerang XL (since they first came out) which has a lot of room but I...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

That's interesting as I have had it the other way for the last 5 years. So I went and dug up the manuals for both of my J600R's and my J1300R and on page 29 (in both manuals) it shows Gas - from...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

John

Maiden flights are always nerve wracking, but with the Reaction, no problems. If it is set up per Bruce's recommendations, piece of cake. Here is a 400 ft grass field that Bob and I flew...

The field improvements sound like a real winner. How wide is the runway? A lot of us guys used to come to Oregon every year when they had the Central Oregon Jet Rally in Madras. It...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

I had some 3/4" shelf wood (none of the particle board stuff) laying around and cut out the three pieces so they would interlock when I screwed them together. I did do a little extra sanding on the...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

The turbine pump I am using will pump as much as 15 oz. a min at 7 volts so a 24 oz. tank will last less than a couple of minutes. I have the pump set up on a slider switch on my transmitter to vary...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

I used a piece of 1/8" aluminum bar stock and cut a slot in it to accept the flange that holds the smoke boat. It was screwed to the former that the wing plugs into. It sits on the former and only...

Thanks. It is going to be a fun year, especially with the Reaction because it is such a low key flying airframe. There were no jitters when I took off and I was able to do all the trims...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

I didn't have any flying photos but I just got a photo that Chuck's wife took. He was doing the spotting for me. Now I have proof that it flew. It was a fun day.
