ROLLING HARRIER

Once you get comfortable with the up-right harrier, it's time to work

rolls into the mix. From an up-right harrier, add in left aileron and

change from up elevator to down elevator when inverted. If you

are comfortable with four point rolls and slow rolls, inputting rudder

on the knife edges can improve the maneuver considerably. To

turn the model, simply input the elevator or rudder a little sooner

or later in the rotation. It's all a matter of timing.

Precision pattern plane — or all-out 3D aerobat? You decide. The Reactor excels at both. It doesn't matter whether you go with glow power

or equip it with a brushless electric motor — you'll enjoy outstanding performance either way, thanks to its all-wood construction for

light, strong structures, and a pure sport design with none of the compromises that scale planes require. The result: a rocket-sleek plane

with maxed-out performance potential. The mid-wing design and thin airfoil (9% thick vs.13-14%) offer exceptional precision and a wide

performance envelope, plus conﬁ dence-inspiring stability at slow speeds. Assembly is anything but slow — prebuilt structures, MonoKote

covering and painted ﬁ berglass parts cut it to just 5-6 hours, start to ﬁ nish. GPMA1021

PINWHEEL

Climb vertically and bring the model to a vertical hover, but do

not stop long enough to let the torque pull the model around

(climbing or sliding slightly will not be noticeable to spectators

but will keep air ﬂ owing over the ailerons and provide you roll

authority to stop the torque). When the model is hanging,

rock the plane left with rudder, then apply full throttle and

full right rudder and hold both, completing 3/4 of a VERY

tight Knife Edge Loop and ﬂ ying out Knife Edge. When done

correctly, the plane pivots around the wingtip in a very small

area. This maneuver can be done in either direction.
