Aldershot club chit chat
Stephen Grigg replied to Dave Cummings's topic in Flying Field Reports and Chat
It was a good day Sunday and good to see Jeff Mike Ray and everyone else.Jeff flew his Zlin 50 beautifully and Mike his ex Jeff Sopwith Camel and its gorgeous.Jeff also flew his non aileron Barn Stormer which looks superb.I flew my Radio Queen,T180 and Harmon Rocket and last flight lost orientation of my Rocket over my head trying to avoid flying into the sun and crashed it which dented my pride,confidence and love of the Rocket -

Really enjoyable dat today about 20 people there so lots of chatting and watching others fly,Had problems with my minnion who kept getting my Harmon Rocket out of tune but he admires my flying so I put up with him.Jeff2 wings handed me his controller when he was flying his Suoer 60 and it was a lovely flyer.He removed the engine and gave me the plane,THANKS Jeff.I do have a 2 stroke SC 25 new in box and easiest thing is to pop that in.All I need to do is make the engine plate.Ive ordered a new Cowl from Carbon Copy and will also get a new silencer from Laser as my dual silencer second box keeps coming off. -

Another really good day yesterday and on my own as well.Peter and Steve P were chatting in the caravan when the wicked which walked past.Not sure what she is upto now,no good of course.Ive never seen her.apparently if you look in her eyes you turn to salt and get washed away.Friday looks promising and Sunday -

Thats a Harmon Rocket Peter.I know all about rapeseed.I makes you ill if your not careful,our club chairman became ill and when he told them he had been looking for aircraft in it,they realised what was wrong.Thry ve planted it again this year and its growing well,well watered.Our patch is growing longer but it could do with a roll where all the worm piles are.Models bounce all over the place on take off -

Harmon Rocket 111 by Seagull
Stephen Grigg replied to Stephen Grigg's topic in Build Blogs and Kit Reviews
This latest in my line of Harmon Rockets is a gooden.Started to come into its own today and really started to appreciate how balanced this latest one is.The SC 52 2 stroke seems the ideal engine for this model so the combination for me is perfect.Straight take offs fast or slow and very controllable in landing.Just wish under carriage wasnt so soft,so you have to land very gently -
