Dan,
-
- It's nice to know Arvil's kit is becoming a Rocket, he would have liked
that. John Harmon is still a wealth of information, (he designed it!) and
always willing to chat about anything Rocket related or otherwise.-I enjo
yed stopping by John's cafe a couple of years ago while bringing a Luscombe
to TX for a friend and having dinner with him.
My Rocket just clicked over 1000 hours and compared to my RV4 (which I put
1500 hours on) is still an amazing machine.
-
Good luck, let me know if you need any help:)

Hi Dan.
I purchased some parts (slider canopy, fairings) from Mark Frederick at tea
m rocket.- Since I'm a customer, I was permitted access to the Team Rocke
t Forum on his website.- There is some useful information on that site as
well.-

Currently, I am reinforcing the RV-4 tail based on several recommendations
on that list.- It involves adding stiffeners between the spars on the HS
and adding a front spar doubler on the HS as well.- This is to eliminate
the tail shake that some Rockets experience.- I urge you to become a cust
omer of Mark as well at some point.- It may be a while, but don't close u
p your HS until you get the details.- This probably applies if you are us
ing a -8 HS as well.

Vern,
=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2- I bought a tail kit off Mark before F1 kit p
roduction was halted. I sold it which was a big mistake. I am flying a RV6-
A and will be building a rocket starting this summer.
=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2-=C2- I also have access to the Team Rocket forum
and agree it's an excellent resource. I plan on building=C2-an F1 but if
=C2-the kit becomes available again or a "Hybrid Rocket" using many F1 pa
rts including the tail kit.

Dan and all,
Mine is HR II #233... built with F-1 canopy and RV8 tail.
These probably slow me down a bit due to increased frontal area and
wetted area... but I'm happy with the features... and I like the looks.

Hi Guys first thanks for the nice welcome. Ive studied all the info i can f
ind on-Rocket tails. I have a few questions. =0AFirst why are some tails
considered faster? Just due to size ?=0Anext can anyone detail-what makes
the F-1 tails so much stronger? Ive heard of the extra-skin stiffeners b
ut-=0Aare the skins thicker=0Aspars thicker or have doublers etc=0AI have
a nice--4 empenage with .020 control surface skins.-I have another com
plete empenage kit so i could build a new vertical and horizontal if mods a
re available to drastically increase strength? Thanks for any detailed info
