I did a search here on RCU on the Harmon Rocket in the ARF Forum and found several
threads. It looks like the Rocket has a few problems. []

If you put all three servos in the tail (one for the ruder, 2 for the elevator) it comes out
way too tail heavy with a regular engine. One guy had to put a pound of weight in the nose.
By the time you fill the tank, the weight of the plane makes it fly like a brick. There are
flutter issues with the horz. stab, and a couple failures and crashes. I saw that the tail
feathers didn't look good, that's why I did the search. The design of the stabs isn't too hot
either. The tail feathers look like a J-3 Cub.

The stock landing gear is too soft and bends on every landing. Some of the guys have
replaced the landing gear. I have a tough plastic gear I might try to fit.

My insane choice of a powerplant might not work out....oh well, it's not the first mistake
I ever made. I wouldn't be too happy if I stuffed that engine, it's one of my prized motors.
I don't really care about the plane....it's just another $150 dollar ARF to me.
