Topic: Jw or Reaper 60"

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??

 I would'nt sell my Reaper why not try Andy's when he's fixed it after yesterday

because he knows how much abuse yours has taken

Ah.. well up to you pro's usage then

 s'pose you'll be fitting RDS in yours then

To be honest  (not taking p!ss) all the times ive seen andys reaper is broke!! is the dowel area a known week point or is it just andys flying?

back on thread ...it is nice to have both Ads

given the choice id probably have another reaper first  then another Jdub

and id build it different again

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!

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.  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.

Let us know what he says mate!

He's just tried to ring but I was on other phone. Don't you just hate phone calls when you're at work to say how good a slopes working!!

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.

Hey Adam,
How did your foamy go today?

No flying for me today Clayt

   had to do that terrable thing called WORK

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!

Still considering a Reaper Ads?

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