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?Lauren

She hasn't been on since the end of July 2016.
Her home town is where I live and she was gonna contact me last summer about flying at my clubs field when she came home for a visit after she retired but nary a peep.
Hope she's OK :Hug:Warbird Charlie

Got my Rebel v2 from MotionRC yesterday and finished assembling it last night. Looking forward to a Maiden flight tomorrow afternoon. I like the size of the plane, a bit bigger and beefier than my other EDFs so I'm hoping it will be more wind resistant and a nice stepping stone to the 80 and 90 mm jets.

Have about a dozen flights on the Rebel and the decals started to peel off in a couple of areas. So I decided to give the Rebel a different look. Bought the FW F-5 Tiger decals, missiles and plastic nav lights. Shortened the missiles a bit, and installed the F-16 ordinance mounts so they can be easy on and off. Airbrushed camo freehand from web pictures. 3 coats Beacon Hobby Coat to seal decals.
I know it's not military scale correct, just tried to give the Rebel some personality7 Photos

Great job breathing new life into your Freewing Rebel V2! Paint changes everything! I think it looks outstanding.
Is the Beacon Top Coat really that matte? If so, I need to try some. I'm always looking for a good matte decal sealer.
