NEW! Thanks to modeler input, PST has developed a removable tail option for the Reaction ARF. The fin and stabilizer easily dismount with a couple of bolts, allowing you to squeeze your fuselage into smaller vehicles. This is an upgrade, so it does cost a little extra. For now, you can still order your ARF without the removable tail if you wish. Sorry, but due to structural differences, the removable tail option is not adaptable to earlier ARFs.
BTE Price . . . $60

BTE Price . . . $975  Deluxe Package

The Basic ARF Package comes with a molded-fiberglass 2.5-liter main fuel tank. The tanks listed below are optional.

3.8L Main Tank Upgrade
Want to carry more fuel? Order this larger tank (holds a full gallon!) when you order your ARF and it will be swapped for the standard tank at the factory. Recommended when using turbines with more than 20 lbs. thrust
BTE Price . . . $60  Upgrade
BTE Price . . $150  Ordered Separately

One-Liter Auxiliary Tank
Can be used along with the standard tank to increase fuel load, or used as a smoke tank. Installs below the standard 2.5L tank. (Not compatible with the 3.8L tank.) Includes clunk.
BTE Price . . . $60

One-Liter Smoke Tank
Specially molded to fit behind the larger 3.8L main tank. Intended primarily for smoke fluid, it can also be used to extend the fuel load for extra-thirsty turbines. Includes clunk.
BTE Price . . . $60

PST Bubble Sucker Air Trap
Turbines do not like air bubbles! No matter what main fuel tank you use, a small header tank with an air trap is highly recommended. PST offers this clever header tank made from a small baby bottle. Holds about four ounces of fuel.
BTE Price . . . $45
