Have you maidened the Rebel Yet?

I did! Just today! And you and the others were absolutely right on all fronts. That was probably the best maiden flight I have ever had with any airplane. Three clicks of up elevator is all it needed. It flew great! It tracks so straight although I suspect that is a trait of EDF's? Flew the little Freewing Panther too along with my Freewing Seagull with FPV and my Radian glider. It was a very good day! My birthday too...! LOL!

Tax money.... I love tax money! So I needed/wanted something new/different. I've felt a little stagnant lately just flying the mini quads, my Radian (hit a boomer thermal last weekend and almost lost it visually), and the good ole reliable Pandora. I flew my son's Freewing Panther last weekend and that got me thinking that maybe I need an EDF plane to grab some excitement. Other than the Panther and my Seagull when I had it in EDF form I have not flown any EDF's. So I watched a bunch of Ryan's vids and thought the Rebel might be one of the few jets that can handle the crappy grass fields we fly off of. It looks like it has a pretty wide speed envelope and gear that can handle some bumps. In short, I bought one and am getting it Monday. Anyone got any thoughts on this plane?

For the money it's one of the best beginner jets out there. Drop full flaps and it floats in like a trainer.

That's exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks!!!

Thanks! I really hope it does okay on the short grass and dirt tracks cuz that's all I have to fly off of. The field I fly at is a country fairgrounds, not the worlds best surface. :)

The reviews on Motions website all are favorable and a couple says it flies off of grass well. Looks like a good EDF to me.
