--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Vuxton, Christopher G." <vuxtonc@orha.centcom.mil>
While I sit here in Iraq (gratefully not in a foxhole or tent) I have
plenty of time to think about the Harmon Rocket II sitting in the back
of my head. I have a few questions that have come up before but my
uplink is slow as ...well you know so I can't surf as fast as I'd like.
Plans are sitting at home as we speak and I have lots of rivets.
I see in the FAQs that people use RV 4, 6 and 8 tail feathers. Is there
a real difference or benefit of one over the others?
And what about a sliding canopy?
Thanks,
Chris
Rocket II (Serial Number unknown)

Subject: Rocket-List: gear leg foam
--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Frazier, Vincent A"

SNIP I also use the foam, with success, but I have modified my technique
a bit.
I wrap the gear leg and line the faring with packing tape where the foam
goes. This will allow you to remove the farings without having to redo
the
foam. SNIP
This is an old thread... but I'm off over the hoidays and don't check
the email.
I plan to trim a chunk of soft (pink) temperfoam as needed and use it in
this area. My plan is that it will expand and hold the GLF firmly, yet
allow movement without crumbing like the hard foam. Can take it out
easily if it doesn't work as planned.
A couple springs (ala Vans) to hold the GLF up in position should be
helpful too. Or maybe just some light rope?
YMMV... haven't tried it but can't see why it won't work.
Vince
