Well I finally got my Rocket back into the air today. Was a great day for flying, very little breeze and sunny. Quite a rare thing around here. My first flight was very good although my take off left quite a bit to be desired! The grass runway was very wet from a heavy rain so the grass was very heavy. The little wheels on the plane made it hard to get going. Once I got it going it, lifted off too soon and I dropped it down for one big bounce...bent landing gear!! Oh well I bent it back so it is all right for now.

I found the plane very fast. I really enjoyed flying it but I started to get engine troubles again. I am wondering how an engine acts that is getting too hot. It seems to load up at 1/2 throttle starts to smoke a bit then after full throttle for 10-15 seconds it clears out and really flys great untill I back off the throttle again. There was a guy at the field trying to help me get it tuned up but I think he had a harder time tryng to figure it out than I did!!! Oh well at least he tried.

I ended up getting 4 6-10 min flights out of it before leaving for the day. Any ideas on if it is a cooling issue or just tuning thing.
Thanks, J
