For sure Don.
I had a good time...did a little front lawn foamy flying and just chilled out with my family.

BTW- The center wing pylon/cabane is actually made from fiberglass. It is a very trick little part....that is very unique. I have never seen anything like it on other aerobatic airplanes. Another little GP original.

cheers!!

Agree with that last comment. That center cabane strut is cool and it is much easier to setup up that top wing than you can imagine.

I have one and it is safe to say... I LOVED IT.
Great Planes has been stepping it up as of late. I like it! They are taking that Electrifly line and improving it with each new model. We flyers take notice of these things!

Ditto.

I had the pleasure of talking with George at this years Toledo Show and I can tell you that GP has definately taken a good hard look at what their customers are wanting in a great flying electric airplane.

I have a feeling that the RB is only the start of some of the exciting new things people will be seeing this year from GP.

George, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, and of course your team at GP for the awesome opportunity to get the word out on these products. I happened to actually fly Brett's Reactor, and it was a hoot!! My one comment is this - I've been flying the smaller electrics for some time now, and I was very impressed with the stability and 3dability of this little beast! Loved it! Also, the covering on this thing is sick.

Thanks again folks! MD

Right on Max...I look forward to hooking up with you guys for more stuff in the future.

RE: the flight performance- When we were developing the airplane...I was shocked on how much "bigger" the airplane feels in the air than it really is.

So stoked to hear everyone digs it.

I noticed in the pic we laso sent you a tinted E-Spinner.
Im sure you used the stock spinner for the review to keep it...well ...stock!
I'm curious to hear any thoughts about the light clear spinners.
