Haven't had a chance to post an update in a few days, but I have been flying the wings off of my Harmon Rocket all week. I have to say that the plane flies really well. It goes through the air nice and straight, and is very streamlined. It makes a nice hum when you do a high speed pass from the air moving across that huge cowling.

I must have gotten the old landing gear because mine are very weak. They flex quite a bit when the plane is just sitting on the tarmack. I will have to make some new landing gear at some point.

You have to land the plane with some pretty good speed. Our runway is smaller than ideal for a plane of this size and speed. The thing looks really nice coming in. You have to be carful not to pull in too much up elevator or you get an exagerated flare.

Overall I am very pleased with my new purchase. The .61 with an 11x7 has power and speed to spare. I could use a bigger fuel tank. I only get about 10-12 minutes flying time. The smile factor is definately there!
