Some questions for the rocketeers -
My scenario - young (relatively), patient (to a degree), not willing to put down 40K up front for F1 kit - rather would buy wing kit from Van's/Harmon and piece meal over the next 4 or so years (and hope for 10% NYSE returns) - plus I am cash only type person.
Question 1. RV8 tail on Harmon Kit - I've decided to go with Harmon vs F1 based on upfront costs mainly - more time than money type situation. The numbers equal $19k for Harmon/RV $39K for F, roughly. Can I put my 8 tail on the Harmon without major mods - heard of this as an option.
Question 2. I've seen the plans for Harmon (ugh) and F1 (ahh)- does anyone regret choosing one or the other based on building difficulties (i.e. is it worth the extra bling to save on frustration). I know of a couple of very frustrated harmons builders who wished they had bought the F1 but not the other way around.
Many thanks -
Joe
