Gerry,

I haven't run across an actual build log for a rocket, but www.vincesrocket
.com has lots of good info on building techniques. Also, you can go to http
://vansairforce.net/links.htm-and click on Builder Sites for a list of RV
builder sites in general. Also, there are some RV-4 sites at http://www.my
kitlog.com-that might be helpful.

I used Van's RV-4-wing kit with-pre-drilled-spars, just deleted any p
redrilled skins, and any parts supplied by Harmon, like tank backs and skin
s. The predrilled RV-4 spars-don't match HRII plans dimensions exactly, b
ut John Harmon said just locate ribs to the pre-drilled holes closest to lo
catons specified in the plans. Driving the -6 rivets wasn't that big a deal
. I did both spars solo in a day using the Avery C-frame tool and a 3lb han
mer.

Hope this helps.- Miles

I'm a naturalized citizen building a HRII in San Francisco :D

Can anyone recommend a good build log on the Rocket ?- I confess my flyin
g RV-9 owes so much to the blogger/builders that went before me.

Did you all build your own wing spars ?- I heard Phlogiston aren't willin
g any more ...
