After months of threatening to buy a Rocket on this forum, I finally made good yesterday. I've been after this particular airplane for a while, but kept getting steered away by other airplanes with better paint or fancy interiors. In the end though, it was hard to ignore the fact that the airplane has only 58 hours on it and the engine and prop are factory new. Yesterday's trip home was the first time the airplane had flown in nearly 2 years, but it worked perfectly. This weekend is going to be spent tearing it apart to ensure it holds no surprises. You will be seeing plenty of this airplane on this forum in the future- I have many mods planned.

looks like the Hiperbipe goes to Minnesota next weekend, so I figured it was a good chance to take a group picture.
