Looking at getting another 60" foamie.

 cant decide weather to stick with what im used to or try somthing different?

Currently have a Jw, but wouldnt mind trying a reaper >:(

Anyone got any unstarted kits they want to sell??

Yum Yum, These Korean meat balls really are the dogs bollox.

I built my Reaper in one piece but don't worry; if you hit the ground hard enough with it the fuselage comes off again!  :embarassed:

Did you pick up Andy's Reaper on Sunday Ads? I was very impressed with how well it did considering it was really pretty light compared to some of the other stuff we had there that was getting bumped about as much if not more. I'd try the Reaper if I was you.  :af There's a 72"er as well...

Maybe pointless advice as I've seen neither fly let alone DS. I have had Steve Forbes reaper in the shop and it was a very impressive looking tool. The general plan formn looks far more suited to DS than the stumps JW plan form. The section was incredibly thin for a foamy and his overall finish was excellent. I believe using the tissue method. He's text me today to say he's trying it up Rushup today so you may get some good info out of him.

Tell him you just got laid on the counter by some hot bird who walked in. Should help to even the balance up.

My Reaper seems as quick and balanced as my M60 was, could do with more time in heavier wind, but very quick.
I do have a built Reaper extreme with 3150 servos for sale if your interested, just haven't had time this year to use it properly.

It would just be nice to see it used properly, not too heavy at 58 ozs but a very clean build.

Really looking forward to hearing or seeing how it goes.
The couple of laps mike did with his looked like potential plus.
Hopefully will be out and about with my Lumberjack in the next week.

Ah Clayt dude - it DID fly a week ago! Did the fastest foamie speed of the day at 110 from about 15mph of wind. Looks rock solid!

Err :o Just realised that the D80 servos total up to £300 so reaper might have to wait :banghead:
