RE: HARMON ROCKET
Cool picture Dave. You should post a couple more of the engine after it is installed. I have got many flight on my Harmon Rocket now, and I did add the horizontal stabilizer support just to make sure I don't have any problems.
Maybe it is just me, but I have a heck of a time landing this plane in any kind of a crosswind. My 60 Mustang just floats in as nice as can be, and my Funatana and Twist land like trainers with their low wing loading. I still find that the Rocket is squirelly on the approach and at low speeds.
I will say that it is the fastest plane in my fleet with a OS .61fx and a 12x8 prop. It is also one of the best looking planes. I wish it handled a little better. I guess it is just the nature of the beast.
