Brian,
What is your flying background? A Rocket, or an RV for that matter aren't for beginners,
a consideration before you spend alot of years building.

Brian,
Have you considered the F-1 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.

I have yet to see any posts about sex relative to this issue. C'mon guys
the Rocket is slathered in SEX APPEAL compared to the ...What was it
???. Why do you think its affectionately called a "Hormone" Rocket?
Duh!! When I fly into an airport in my Hormone Rocket people line up,
snap to attention and Salute!, Literally, No really! They do. They cant
help them selves. I have to wash the drool off the plane after cross
countries. People love this thing, they beg for rides, even great
looking women want a ride!(in the plane). Yesterday I had it out of the
hanger sitting on the ramp and even after 6 years the thing makes me
stop and stare. I don't know how a plumber from Bakersfield did it but
He did. Thanks John.
I chose a Rocket over an RV for one reason, RESALE VALUE! (I thought
this was the best thing about a Rocket until all of he above started
happening) You can make money with a Rocket. Do the math. If you work it
right you can build 20-30k of equity into one of these things. I don't
think an RV- will do that.

Listening to you guys proposing the pros and cons of the 7 and the
Rocket, it appears to be a matter of taste. If you are content drilling
holes in the sky at any speed, the 7 will do. If the rate at which you
drill those holes matter a great deal, you have to pursue the Rocket. I
fall into the latter category. Regardless of the fuel, I'd much rather
fly less and do it with a glow in my cheeks, than buzz around disturbing
some atmosphere.

Brian is an accomplished pilot.... Many hours in a variety of
Experimental planes. Most recently, I believe he flies a Marquart Charger.
He will have no problem transitioning at all.. AND he will proudly wear
the "Grin"...

Wow, Fred thanks for the compliment. And thanks to every body for all the posts
and encouragement.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going for the rocket. I am an A & P although I've
never worked as one. I have owned 2 homebuilt's that I bought, both needing work.
I built a cowl and baffling from scratch for my EAA biplane. Sheet metal work
is not too big a problem. I have most of the riveting tools I need and I have
access at work to some sheet metal machines like a 8' power shear a 6' power
slip roller and some other stuff. What I'm really trying to figure out is how
much fabrication is there. Getting a look at a project would answer a lot of
questions. I did look at Mark Frederick's planes and they are beautiful. I really
like the tapered wing. But they are to expensive for me. May use some of
his parts.
Brian
