Default RE: HARMON ROCKET

I've gotten mine trimmed out and balanced with the 3 servos on the tail adding only 2oz weight in the nose. The battery is above the tank. I also changed out the foamy main wheels for some 2 1/2" rubber tires. It is powered with an Evo TPS .455 (w/o flywheel weight)/ APC 11x7 and quite a few people have commented on it's speed. Takeoffs are quick; landings are a breeze. I've flown it about 15 times so far.

The trim issue, and it was serious, was caused by warping of the horizontal stabilizer. Now, I occasionally "re-adjust" with the heat gun and slight pressure.
