Yes it flies just like it does in G4.5.
As a matter of fact, the G4.x model uses a slightly different motor than what is recommended for the Reactor.
I matched the motor & prop used in the G4.x model and got exactly same performance.
The motor selected in G4.x is a much better choice for this plane than what the manual states.
BTW: Move the C.G. back on the G4.5 model .7" to get more accurate performance.

My Reactor flies better in real life than the sim.
I went with the 35-30-1250 RimFire motor on my real life model to begin with, and mine feels stronger than the sim. I have less coupling in knife-edge. I can do slow rolling circles all day long, mine seems to land smoother and even has less tendency to stall.
And I have added weight with flylites... Imagine if mine was still light!
As a side note: Inverted flatspins against a full moon at night are pretty cool.

Yeah, same here.
Moving the C.G. backwards and increasing the wing lift percentage helps to deal with the stalls, etc.
For the coupling drop the "Z" of the engine a bit.
I believe I made all of those changes to get the sim to perform more like the real world.
I often knife edge the real Reactor 3D at low altitude along the entire length of our club airfield runway with no problem at all. I don't have to fight any coupling when doing so.
