| Subject: | first flight EVO wing |
--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Stuart Pearson" <stubiker@hotmail.com>
Hello,
My name is Stuart Pearson. I live in Tucson, Arizona. I am new to the list
and have a "new guy" question... Is the EVO wing available for the Rocket II
or only the F1? I'm new to Rockets and want to educate myself before I start
to build. Is there a good source of info about mods and options for the
Rockets available? I've heard bits and pieces about things like flush skin
joints etc. and would like to develop a plan before buying and building a
Rocket II Kit. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for
your time.
Stuart

The doubletree is not honoring the $89 rate listed on Harmon's site. I
booked at the
Best Western Crystal Palace Inn & Suites for $60 online. Supposedly they
have transportation also, though I didn't confirm that.
