Steve Goodwin Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry to hear about your personal life Steve, chin up. Followed your Harmon Rocket thread a while back, liked you model so much I brought one as my first low winger, still in the process of building or should I say assembling! Going to mount the ASP 61 fs inverted, so reading lots on the pitfalls on this, anyway good luck. All the best. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks Steve.My latest Harmo Rocket has an SC52 2 stroke side mounted as per the instructions.I have fitted bigger wheels.Although mine id new its not the latest release with removeable canopy as I love the earlier set up.The under carriage is far to bendy.On my first one I had under carriage I acquired fron eho knows where.I fitted it because it was red and looked great.I can only find one of the pair.Good luck with your HR still love them.

Today was fantastic Lovely sunshine ,very little wind and excellant flying6 of us were there and Peter just dropped in.Photos later. Ive come a long way since my knee ops.Felt good and didnt need to sit much.Helped Mike quite a lot ,he is a slow learner,but the repairs shouldnt take to long,he is used to doing repairs.After spending from before 10 until after 3 flying I walked round the big car park field before heading home to cook Sunday dinner.
