The landing gear is pretty soft and needs to be made stronger, they fly well with an OS 46AX in the nose or even better with a 72 Saito. They fly well, turn very quickly and don't like the wind much, you will need to fly it all the way down.
They look good and certainly represent value for money. Good luck with the bird, they can be very exciting to fly

Also watch the elevators. Sometimes they can flutter and come apart. I saw a guys plane just rip apart on approach. Plus the real Harmon Rockets are crashing left and right aound here. Mostly pilot error I think.

Thanks for the information Nitrodan. You have really boosted my confidence, think I'll just put it up on eBay (only joking) I'll double check the Elevators. Hope you're right about pilot error. Thanks again mate I love a good challenge. Cheers.... Dave.
