G'day Everyone,
I am looking at building a Harmon Rocket II. From reading the archive and
various websites, there seems to be a number of people who prefer the F-1 t
ail on the Harmon rocket. The Rocket I had the pleasure to ride in here in
Australia has an F-1 tail fitted and I liked the idea of the riveted trail
ing edge despite the possible aerodynamic differences. I found the tail fo
rces to be significantly lighter than my RV7 and I believe the bellcrank mo
dification had been done. From the very limited flying I did I could not d
iscern any issues.
I understand that the F-1 is out of production, but is it still possible to
purchase a F-1 tail kit? I assume Mark is no longer selling parts as emai
ls to Team Rocket have gone unanswered. Alternately, does someone have a
kit they wish to sell?
Also, what do people recommend for wheel pants, leg and intersection fairi
ngs?
Lastly, has anyone used an Aztec Prop on a Rocket? I found a reference to
the Super8's using one over here -> http://www.mstewart.net/super8/faq.htm.
However I spoke to John and he said he didn't think one would fit as he i
s supplying an "M" hub. I assume that is one of the two units listed on th
e Hartzell website:
2-Bladed Propeller HC-M2YR-1BF/F8475D-4
2-Bladed Propeller HC-M2YR-1BF/F8475J-4
The Super8 website refers to an HC-C2YR-1B / F-8465-7R. As best as I can t
ell those blades are definitely off an Aztec but the normal hub used is an
HC-E2YR-2RBSF, so I am wondering if the hub needed to be changed out in ord
er to fit?
The reason I ask is that I have access to a very cheap Aztec prop and spinn
er with time to run and would love to use it if it works and is suitable.
I can't find and specs on the differences between the hubs so I guess the n
ext step might be to visit my friendly prop shop.
Cheers
Richard
