Today I maiden the my Joker assembled at the Rocket Factory (F1 Rocket).. The Jet is equipped as follows:

K120G2..
MKS 747 servos
CB200 with R3 and R900
Cortex Pro (Limited Edition RED)
Custom Kevlar fuel tank with FCT..uat

After a few clicks of up elevator and one click left aileron the Joker was flying on rails. In my opinion the amount of aileron is too much at 18mm... on a role it spins like a top...... Other than that all manual recommendations were perfect. I had increased full flaps to 90mm (due to K120) and the Joker comes in for landing very nicely. Due to its large inlets and drag it slows down as soon as you go to idle. After having 3 Ultra Flashes (M200) and one Spark (K70), the Joker can be called a "Mini Ultra Flash" or a "Super Spark".

I would like to thank Danny and the team at "Rocket Factory: for another successful speed jet for my fleet.







PS.... An upwind full throttle alarmed at 210 mph
