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.

Hi,

I want ed 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 hav e the skills necessary to complete an airplane, and I ordered a RV&A .  I still think that was a good decision.  < /P>

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.

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!

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?
