Anyone who has been in a Rocket?
3 years ago I convinced Eric Hansen to give me a ride. The next day I
ordered the kit! Much to my wife's surprise.
1 year ago I finished my F1 (or enough to fly, it now needs paint).
Much better riding in the front, but from either seat, they are an amazing
machine. 75 hours in mine now. It's time for paint.
Every time I get the feeling the Rocket isn't heads and tails above other
planes, I jump in my other plane (it isn't a slouch when compared to
Cessnas -Stits Playboy with 175 hp) and I realise that the Rocket is in a
class of it's own; takeoff is Rocket like, climb out is unbelievable, and
speed is great. Oh and it's aerobatic! Too much fun.

John and all,
Earlier today I flew N142LL from its home base in Quincy, Ca --
identifier 2O1-- to Auburn, Ca for the usual gourmet lunch and return.
High, thin clouds, smooooth air and directly over some of the prettiest
terrain of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Climb rate to ten thousand
or so? I did not clock it but I would like to see you beat it with less
than 300 hp.
Speed at cruise: very close to 3 miles a minute and 10 gallons per
hour.
Have an urge to get upside down? Effortless. Draw any glances on the
ramp at destination? I think so. Right after take-off have any people
stopped walking to stare? Yeah.
Life if good.

My first Rocket ride, from the man himself. I knew I would have to
own one. As great as it is flying in the passenger seat, it seems
like a whole different airplane and is even better from up front.
Thanks John

Hi,
I wanted a rocket when I first became aware of them. When I was finally
able to have the means to start a kit I purchased the design drawings.
When I studied the drawings I realized that I did not have the skills n
ecessary to complete an airplane, and I ordered a RV&A. I still think t
hat was a good decision.
Tom Gumibear gave me a ride in his and a HR2 WILL be my next airplane!

I am flying an F-1 Rocket. It has a Harmon tilt over canopy so maybe I can be
included as a first cousin. I have flown 280 hrs. in 2 years. I made some control
changes and it has the same control harmony as the RVs. I had 2000 hrs. in
RV-4s and loved them. The Rocket is one fine flying machine. I have taken experienced
pilots rides and I have heard more than once that you couldn't describe
the ride -- you had to experience it to believe it. I never dreamed that I
would love this plane so much. Another surprise is I fly with the RVs on the same
fuel burn or sometimes less. Thanks to all the people who have made this possible.

John, I can't believe this is a serious question. This is the coolest aircraft
ever made. Period. I fly a whole lotta other machines, all fun in their own
way, but this one is special, and the indisputed queen of them all. She flies
comfortably and safely off a 900 ft paddock with a cliff at each end, travels
half the length of New Zealand in a short flight, turns 6 hour drives in 30
minute flights, does it all right way up or upside down, aerobats beautifully,
shrugs off the heaviest loads, and has the power and performance to safely get
me through some pretty hard core NZ mountain flying, often in bad weather. And
ooooooohhhhhh that climb rate. You got this one right. If they had royal
honours in the US I'd be proposing you for a knighthood! Andrew Fairfax (owner

I was looking for something to fly and heard from a friend that someone at
the airport had a 1/2 share in his RV-4 for sale. I didn't know
what an RV was (military pilot, what did I know?). Didn't even know it was
a tail dragger (I had almost no tail dragger time). So I went out
to the airport and took a ride in the back seat. Landed, got out, and
bought 1/2 interest. Next year I flew to Sun n' Fun for the first time
(in my RV!). Landed, signed in and took a walk around the "RV Park",
ooohing and aaahhhing at all the beautiful RV's. Wow, that's a
beautiful 8, there's a spiffy new 6, that must be a 7. Whoa! That's one of
the most beautiful airplanes I ever saw. What the hell is it?
So I asked someone. His name was Mark.
Now I have 835.7 hours in mine (no, not in the aircraft log, in my builder's
log) and counting. When I get this thing in the air, everyone
near Ridgeland, SC probably ought to land. For a few days, anyway! My wife
says I'm impulsive, but what does she know?

Lee...
