Hello to all fellow Harmon Rocket owners, fans, builders and dreamers. This
guy wants to build a RV4 with a Rocket canopy I assured him he would be much
happier with a Harmon Rocket. Anyone want to give him any expert comments....

Hi,
This is Don McNiven. I called on Friday about the RV-4 with rocket windshields.
We talked about you getting me in contact with Tim Barnes? the owner of mean
green. I was also would like to talk to Kerry Fowler if he would be willing.
I
saw his completed plane on Van's aircraft web sight. I have also seen a white
and red plane like mean green on Vince Frasiers web sight from a 2001?
Bakersfield fly-in. I would love to talk to the owner of that plane and any
others you know who have done simalar conversions.
Thanks,
Don

Everybody,
The airport cafe is under new management. For those of you who stopped coming
because of the last operator, she is GONE. Apple Valley should be a good
place to get the hundred dollar hamburger again. Stop in and give it a try.
BTW, the APV airport is going to have an open house and pancake breakfast free
for "fly-ins" on Saturday Oct 2 from 8:00 to 10:00.

I built a RV-4 and am now building a Rocket. Once you get into the drawings,
the wings arent too tough. I am about to start the fusilage and it looks a
little simpler than the -4.

I'll give him some expert comments - I am flying a 4 and finishing an HR II. I
built and flew a 6 for 8 years. If you want a 4 with a Rocket canopy then by
all means do it. I can even tell you where you can get a beautiful canopy.
Gary Graham has done this and he seems happy. The big difference is that in the
HR II you also get 3500 fpm climb, a more gorgeous airplane, more room inside,
another 40 kts (at least) cruise, and it sounds like a P-51 when it does a
high speed pass. So far all the detractors have been able to come up with is
higher fuel burn. I flew my 4 to Carsom City and my neighbor flew his Rocket.
He shaved off 42 minutes one way and the total round trip cost him $5 more
than my 150 hp 4. Granted, the Rocket is harder to build, but IMHO it is well
worth it.
Jim
