| Subject: | first flight EVO wing |
--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Tom Martin" <fairlea@amtelecom.net>
I had my first flight of my F1 with the tapered EVO wing on Friday. Since
then I have put about 6 hours on the plane. This wing has made quite a
difference to the aircraft. I have a lot of hours in different rockets and
although they do a lot of things very well they do land a bit on the hot
side. This EVO wing takes me back to my RV4 days and I am loving it. I have
had nine landings so far and all of them have had a shorter landing roll
than my best standard wing rocket landings. It is too early to say anything
about top speeds but based on prototype that I flew the EVO1 will be 5 to 10
knots faster as well. Expanding the flight envelope of an already fantastic
airplane raises the bar for all sport planes. Over the years I have had
quite a few people express interest in the rocket but they were a bit
hesitant about landings speeds. The standard wing rocket is quite
manageable, as we know, but the reputation was out there. This wing will
open the world of rockets for more pilots, how good is that?

I hung the engine on the bird last night so I could get going on fitting the
cowling and get all that fiberglass stuff done at once. Boy what a
difference, much easier than mounting those 4 bangers. Only took a half hour
or so working by myself! Bigger is better!

Thanks for the update. Keep us old time HRII drivers posted about the new
wing and numbers.
When are you coming to California for some Pacific Ocean breezes.
