and i was wondering what kind of good/bad exsperiences you guys have had with this plane.
i was gonna put an os 61 fx in it. but... this motor comes with it and i guess i will use it.
what engine did u guys use? radio gear? how does it land?
thanks

Hi Zach...I have this model converted to electric power.Flies very well,very steady and floats in under a little power,Very pleased with it....HH

My son reviewed this plane last year, Here's the review (Pay attention to the "Flight Report" a lot of people had this same failure, so make sure you brace the stab).

Hi Zach,
do a search on the forum and you'll find a good thread on the rocket. I've one with a Saito FA-80GK in and I love it. The U/C is a bit soft/springy especially the earlier blue one. I have had no problems with the tail but have braced it anyway.

Looks like you got a pretty good deal! Nice Plane, and a good flyer. Replace the stock landing gear, and brace the tail, and all will be great! Mine has an O.S .46AX. It flys pretty good with that engine, and produces nice power, but a little more power and a little bigger would not hurt a thing! Here is a photo of mine. The Tail is braced with 4-40 rods, and the landing gear has been replaced with better grade aluminum gear.

A guy at my field has a Harmon rocket and it flies good! I think I am getting one for x-mas and putting a saito 82 or evo. 61. I guess i will be putting what ever my parents buy in it but those are what i want for a motor!:D
