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 (stubiker@hotmail.com) >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.

I booked at the Best Western Crystal Palace Inn & Suites for $60 online. Supposedly they have transportation also, though I didn't confirm that. Russ HRII
