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 --- On Thu, 11/19/09, Gerry Filby wrote: From: Gerry Filby Subject: Rocket-List: Speaking of learning from blogs ...
