I agree with Dave, I don't like to use heat on the tubing either. I just stretch the end a little with pliers, just enough to help me get it on the nipple. I also spray CA activator (kicker) onto...

I have been flying the Pirotti version of this model / size for about 3 years (off grass) and have full confidence it will handle anything you put it through. I use a Jet Central Cheetah SE (36lbs)...

Dave, interesting to see the UAT cap pointed to the rear of the jet. I did the same thing on the Viper. I did it because I installed it directly in front of the main tank, it facilitated a nice...

I understand, and I do so as well. I have been flying my rebel for about 3 seasons and have been decreasing the expo out incrementally. Mine feels rather sluggish on these two axis. I think it is...

Nice flight! If you do not mind me asking, are you using any expo on the Ail or Ele? If so, what %?

140 would be adequate. I have a Cheetah 160 in mine and I'm always slowing it down. Anything above 1/4 throttle at level flight - it is consistently gaining speed incrementally. If I were to do it...

I have CM Jets tanks in mine, but I have the Pirotti version. When I was putting it together I planned to install smoke from the beginning. So, I deliberately made the wing bolts accessible from the...

I think I may have a screenshot from the last time I cg'd the plane. I think the issue with the ask is that unless we know the weight by memory, someone would need to go weigh the plane. Right now...

It's my go to plane and I agree, Rebels fly very well. I flew a MKII Viper towards the end of the season last year and it was dramatically different. I felt much more ahead of the jet in every...
