PST Reaction 54 sport jet flight-test report
I’M GOING TO share my experiences with
a PST Jets Reaction 54 sport model. Sung
Kim of California owns and flies this
particular jet, and he trusted me with his
beauty so I could familiarize myself with it.
(He didn’t know how I fly.) Bruce Tharpe
Engineering (BTE) designed and sells the
Reaction 54, which is a good platform with
which to transition from propeller-equipped
aircraft to jet-powered models.

I HAVE NEWS about turbines and more
turbines—not just for jets, but for helicopters
and turboprops as well. Two new turbine
helicopter engines and two turboprop engines
are now available.

Do you have a plan for your test flights on a new jet?
Park View: Great Planes XPD-8 ARF - 2008/03
A ducted-fan model to use for
zipping around small fields, GREAT PLANES has created a park flyersize,
electric-ducted-fan model that can fly
well in moderate wind conditions.
According to the Web site, the XPD-8 ARF
has a top speed approaching 55 mph; that’s
good for a model spanning only 28 inches
and weighing less than 13 ounces.
