I installed an iGyro 3e in my Reaction. Why??? Because I was constantly making bad landings and the plane would bounce with the nose coming up. Each successive bounce got worse resulting in damage to...

In the years that I have been flying the R-54 I have never been convinced that the plane needs to be light. Certainly, paint weight vs film covering is a non issue. Every film covered plane I see...

You had to ask!! I'll have to do some research to get the ProLinks that I used. I do recall that I turned down the top of the strut to get a deeper engagement into the Robart trunion.

According to my marked up plans, when I installed Pro Link gear I moved the wheel well inboard (towards the wing root) 3/8" to accommodate the longer gear in the relaxed position and rearward 1/8" to...

Bruce, I've always tried to adhere to the old adage "Do it right the first time". You did it right the first time and it shows by the R-54 following you have. I have several jets in my stable but...

I have been through the same problem. I can't count the number of gear and wing repairs I've done. I'm finally "Getting it". The throttle goes to idle on the down wind leg with full flaps. If the...

John, I carry my R-54 in the back of my 97 Dodge Dakota. I believe the bed is 6 feet long. The fuselage is placed in the bed on a diagonal ((Right front corner to left rear corner of the bed)....

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Legnum, I still see the potential to pull the retract mount plate and wing skin away from the W6 rib sandwich. There doesn't appear to be enough contact surface to hold that skin/gear mount plate to...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hanapi, loosing a jet is a real heart breaker. I lost my first R-54 in the sun (my own stupid mistake). When I picked up the remains, the nose was burried 18" in the dirt. However, the tail section...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Mark, the balance range from the plans measured from the leading edge at the wing root is 6" back for the forward extreme to 7" at the rear extreme. You are right on target with 6 1/2".

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Gruntled, I'm in LaPlata now and I expect to be at the PGRC field Saturday late AM. Keep your eye out for a 5'5" guy with a tan Tam Jets hat on. I'll head straight for the jets if there are any there.

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Gruntled, on my last visit (last fall) to my sisters home in LaPlata I visited your field. It was a breezy day and as I suspected, the place was vacant. That's a long walk from the gate to the field....

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

What do you guys think about 400 feet of grass with high trees at the departure end but reasonably clear for approach. I've limited my R54 to paved runways with 2000' or more. I'd really love to fly...

My sentiments exactly Bruce. I never was a fan of ATFs.
