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.
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.
OTHER ITEMS AVAILABLE FROM GREAT PLANES
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
