| Subject: | Re: responses on faster Rockets |
Many thanks to everyone (particularly Lee, for his exceptionally
comprehensive post) for thoughts and ideas. A few things to consider.
Dave Anders certainly did an extraordinary job on his RV4, and I'll see
what I can pillage :) Interesting, the concept of Lycon maybe being a
tad optimistic on the dyno front - I guess I thought a C4B5 that had
higher compression pistons that would run at 2700 would automatically
put out 280 hp-ish, since a standard (Aztec) C4B5 w normal pistons does
250 hp at 2575. I'll think about all this stuff, and will probably reply
individually.

PS anyone happen to know reasonable performance figures for a CLEANED
UP, light HR2? Sounds like my 198-199 TAS up high could actually be
plenty good? It seems "the wing is the thing"...but it's both too late
to change the wing, and I really need that low-ish stall speed for NZ
flying. The extra knot is just the ego talking....I'd really like to see
210 - 215, (KTAS) but am not sure if that's reasonable or possible?

Subject: RE: Rocket-List: HR 2 - any ideas on where to start looking to
make my HR2 faster
Andrew
Both of my HRIIs with stock engines were 200 knot airplanes.
This is what John Harmon advertises and my numbers match his. I have
spent a lot of work on the cowling over the years, on a total of seven
rockets, and I can tell you that the stock cowling is pretty efficient.
The main thing that can be done to improve cooling is the proper shape
and size of the inlets. This has been mentioned by previous posters and
it is quite important. Obviously no leaks from the upper to lower plenum
is a given. I have found that the outlet is an area that can use some
work. Often I see outlets that have been cut off and this allows more
air for cooling. More cooling air is directly related to increased
drag. Particularly if you cut the cowling off to a point where the air
flows directly down the firewall and enters the free air stream at an
acute angle. My cowl lip extends aft of the firewall at least three
inches. Note that my comments regarding the cowling mainly relate to
cooling. I have been able to make a lot of adjustments to aid in
cooling but I have yet to see an increase in total speed from cowling
modifications. You can make is slower, but increasing speed, has been
elusive.
Weight kills speed and performance.
Upper and lower gear leg farings also can have an impact on
speed.
Here you need a tight fit and a generous fillet aft of the faring.
The choice of propellers can make about as much difference as
anything you can do. The MT prop, although smooth is going to cost you
speed. The new two blade blended airfoil Hartzell is quite a bit faster
and much smoother than the old paddle blade Hartzell.
There is a dip in the fuselage at the lower firewall. If you
look at a F1 rocket it does not have as much of a dip at that location.
I estimate that dip costs an average of three knots.
The main limitation to increasing speed on a HRII, or the
standard wing F1, is the wing. Although in many ways it is the perfect
wing for this airplane it does limit top speed. Keep in mind that there
are only a handful of planes of any kind that are true 200 knot
airplanes.
Currently I am flying a F1 with the EVO wing. It is my fastest
rocket to date and I have been making a series of minor improvements
over the last three flying seasons. My original MT prop was limiting my
speed and the new Hartzell has been a real improvement. In the
AirVenture cup race this year my average speed over 405 nautical miles
was 232 knots. I believe this to be the fastest recorded rocket speed
in an official race.
Yes I did have some nice tail winds but this plane is showing some good
numbers now. My data leads me to believe that my 8000 foot TAS is
approaching 215 knots.
This winter it goes back in the shop for some more clean up and
a new primer paint scheme, the original is getting a bit scruffy. If
you are interested in speed, do not paint your airplane as it will
definitely limit your will to make modifications.

Subject: Rocket-List: HR 2 - any ideas on where to start looking to make
my
HR2 faster
Hi guys. I'm about to get serious about getting a little more speed out
of my Rocket. I think it's, maybe, 10 knots (or more) slower than many
of the HRs/F1s I read about. TAS in level flight seems to be a hair
under 200 knots, WOT, at any altitude under 8000 feet. I'm wondering if
anyone has any recommendations as to resources, ie, where can I start
looking for information about how to tweak a little more speed out of an
aircraft? Any books, websites, companies or other resources out there on
this subject?
I'm presuming it's mainly about drag, cos I have a good condition 280 hp
engine, and a ROC that's as good as any I've read about. I note that the
elevator is down quite a bit in cruise, and wonder if could be robbing a
few knots? The aircraft also flies with a constant very slight right
hand aileron down to maintain wings level, and also has a couple of
external antennae. Anyone care to comment on whether any of this stuff
makes much of a difference? As I understand basic aerodynamic theory,
parasitic drag is squared, in terms of its impact on airspeed, so I'm
wondering if even the really small things matter when you're talking
about c 200 knots?
Also,the cockpit isn't well sealed. I have a flip-over canopy, and when
it's closed, there's still a 5 mm gap. Is this important?
Anything else that should be looked at? At this stage, a turbine is out
of the question :)
Last question, I guess, is the most important. Am I being unrealistic in
hoping to see TAS of 210 knots????
I'd really appreciate any comments you guys might have on this matter. I
know there's a wealth of experience out there...
Andrew (NZ)

Hi Andrew,
I'm not light (1280), stock F1. IO540 with 9.5 to 1 and one e-ignition.
I always see 225 mph true at anything over 7500 ft. Yesterday I saw 225 mph
true (188 knots ground one way, 210 knots ground coming home) over the rocks
at 10500 burning 13.2 GPH. I run conservative at 2300/21 inches. 3 blade
MT.
When I first flew the plane, I had no gear leg fairings, to pants and could
not keep up to Ken Fowler for the life of me.
I'm not fast, but fast enough for me. Although, after reading Tom's post, I
now wonder if a 2 blade blended should be in my future.
Jeff

Subject: RE: Rocket-List: tails and trailing edges
I responded purely to what you said in your email, that you wanted to
sell it "cheep" (sic). You didn't say that you want to part with it as
spare parts. If I am wrong, I would gladly apologize. If semantics were
in the way, I would still apologize - we are not wordsmiths and I would
gladly accept the clarification.
No swords were drawn

I am not trying to sell it. In fact I have had several emails from guys
wanting it and that was the reason for my previous post explaining that
it is defective. So for alert readers like yourself, I will say it one
more time.
The FI tail I have is not in good condition, I didnt want it on my
airplane and you dont want it on yours either but it might be good for
spare parts for somebody who banged up his elevator.

Perhaps selling it to other RV owners is not that good an idea. Cheap
doesn't justify putting someone else in danger, or having it paid,
shipped and then realizing your were out to recover some of your
mistakes.
That's not nice, Kevin
