Smokey, Merry Christmas! Still getting my Rocket up to speed; plan to
actually fly it shortly after the new year. I have been meaning to ask you
about aerobatics in the Rocket---especially spins. Do you have any words to
the wise?
Thanks,
Tailwinds and blue skies,
Randy

Hi Randy!
Yes sir, I've spun my HR2 many times.
Depending on configuration and fuel load, most Harmon Rockets I have flown are
nose heavy, compared to a light nose RV4 or my RVX. Therefore spin entry and characteristics
are very straightforward. My normal entry consisted of a level
flight slow reduction in power while simultaneously increasing pitch back pressure
where idle power was reached just above clean wing stall speed. (My Rocket
has a very heavy nose approaching stall requiring full aft stick with the stock
RV4 Emp to maintain a level pitch.) Full stall is characterized by a light
tail /wing buffet and nose pitching down slightly. You can actually apply full
power at this point and hold full aft stick and it will buck and pitch but hold
altitude in the stall! The cylinders and oil temp will eventually heat up
but an amazing capability, very similar to the F16.
Spin entry requires idle power, full aft stick and full rudder deflection at stall
which causes a fairly nose low entry followed by rotation, approx 1.5 turns/sec.
Aileron into the direction of spin greatly increases the spin rotation
speed. Recovery is also very straightforward. Neutralize aft stick to slightly
pitch down while simultaneously applying opposite rudder will stop rotation
in approximate 1-2 turns. Other Rocket aerobatics are equally energetic and straightforward.
Fun!

Merry Christmas!
Smokey
PS: If I still owned it I would have lightened the nose and airframe significantly
with a Catto FP 3 blade, minimal avionics and accessories out front, light
sump, starter and accessory case alternator, like my RVX!

Is an RVX an RV-10?
I'm negotiating on a Harmon kit, haven't heard of an RVX.

Hey Oliver,
I built a one of a kind airplane from 2 projects. RV4 wings/tail, Rv6 fuselage.
Rocket plans used to mate wings.
Flies great...
