Default RE: Seagull Harmon Rocket 3

Sharmanc, Well, ya,..... I am a little impressed with it myself too! I did not really measure the new landing gear as much as I just kinda sized it from a side photo perspective of a real Rocket. I have this talent for shaping things from just "eye-balling" it. The only two-stroker that seems to fit without making a mess of the cowl is that Enya .50 with a "Pitts" style muffler. You will certainly have a tail heavy plane with three servos back there unless you take the rudder one and move it up front and turn it into a pull-pull setup. The Enya is quite lite in weight. Dave Brown products makes the Ultimate spinner, I believe it's 2- 3/4 inch diameter. It all depends on how you want to dress this plane up. As I mentioned earlier, this is the only one of its kind here in the US. Exactly $800 us is what it took to complete this 40 size ARF, Fortunately, no one else here is foolish enough to dump that kind of money into this. It's an average flyer with no bad habits but it sure is a conversation ityem at the flying sites I travel to so I fly it very carefully and sparingly too. There are no plans to distribute this ARF here in the US so it's treated like my new-born son Gotta go to work so seeya later, MM
