I have narrowed my choices to Harmon Rocket (#1) or an RV-7 (#2). But I still have concerns about how much more work a Rocket is than an RV-7. I would like to visit some one building a rocket to take a look and talk about what's involved.

There is really no comparison in performance. I'm using an old old RV4 kit to convert to my Rocket which is a lot of head scratching for a first time builder. Thankfully it is pretty well documented on various websites where the differences in construction are. Of course, there is the quickbuild F1 Rocket available also. Depends on bucks and building time availabe, but you can have a Rocket . I personally will never understand how a guy would choose to build an RV8 instead of a Rocket.

It is a quick build kit that is pretty close to the Harmon Rocket. Mark Fredericks owns and operates the business and does a great job at it. The F-1 would be my first choice.
