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 tail 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 trailing edge despite the possible aerodynamic differences. I found the tail forces to be significantly lighter than my RV7 and I believe the bellcrank modification had been done. From the very limited flying I did I could not discern 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 emails 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 fairings?
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 is supplying an "M" hub. I assume that is one of the two units listed on the 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 tell 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 order to fit?
The reason I ask is that I have access to a very cheap Aztec prop and spinner 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 next step might be to visit my friendly prop shop.
Cheers
Richard
