It's a little late now, I`m 85 , no more medical. I enjoy watching you fellows fly. We used to do the same up on the Mojave desert 30 miles from here.

[@WheelsInTheSky]

@Fred LaForge. I hope you took lots of pictures. I know my time is limited. That’s the main reason I do these videos. I have about 2 pictures from my AF days. So I want to be sure I save some memories while I can. I’m coming up on 69, got my fingers crossed that I can fly for another 10.

[@flintstonefly]

As a former Rocket owner, builder, I love watching you fly. It brings back a lot of memories,

[@WheelsInTheSky]

@Fred LaForge. Hey Fred. Good to hear from you. Congratulations on building a Rocket. I didn’t build mine, just bought it a few years ago. I can imagine you miss yours. When I retired from the airline a while back, I had no intention of buying a plane. But within a few months, I was almost in a panic, I wanted a Rocket. So glad I found one. Such a great way to spend retirement!! Build another one!!

Great video and enjoyed the calm, cool commentary as well😊

[@WheelsInTheSky]

@Ethan. Thanks Ethan. That was a fun evening flight. Shane has since sold his Yellow RV8 and got a Harmon Rocket. Although it’s down for maintenance right now. Joe sold his RV3 and also got a Harmon Rocket. In total, we have 8 Rockets in the area now. Maybe I’ll try to get them all together sometime for a video. That would be cool!! Thanks for your comments.

[@Ethan-bu2zy]

@@WheelsInTheSky that’s awesome! Got to fly in a Rocket once and really liked it allot! Would love to own one at some point. Did you receive training in the Rocket prior to buying yours or have previous experience in something similar (RV, Extra, etc.)?

[@WheelsInTheSky]

@Ethan. Prior to the Rocket, I didn’t have any tail wheel experience, but I knew I wanted one. So I got about 5 hours in a friends J3 Cub. Then went down to the Houston area to see Bruce Bohannon, and got 4 hrs in his RV8. He does a very good job instructing and he gave me my tail wheel endorsement. About a month later I bought my Rocket. When I took off to bring it home, I just made sure to push the power up slow, because I was kinda uncertain what to expect. When I got to my Home airport, I made a couple approaches before trying to land. It was all an exciting experiment. I was so excited that day!! I think the name Rocket is more of a sales tactic than a description. The plane is just an RV8 with a bit more power and a longer nose that’s hard to see over. But as you know from flying one, they look and sound cool and are a blast to fly.

[@bertraminc9412]

[@bertraminc9412]

@@WheelsInTheSky I'm new to F1.... why is the RV8 tail and wings put on an F1 over the F1 items?

[@WheelsInTheSky]

@bertraminc. A couple years ago I had researched the difference between the F1 and the Harmon Rockets. As I recall, my impression was that the Harmon was a modified RV4 and the F1 was an F1 kit. I think maybe at one time when a complete F1 kit wasn’t available, guys had to get some RV4 wings. The best source would be to google “Team Rocket “ and then call Vince or whoever answers. I know they’ll be glad to talk to you. Even happier to sell you a kit. Nice fellow, I’ve talked to him on phone a few times and met at Oshkosh. My buddy is building an F1 right now. It’s an early kit, but complete with wings and tail. I did notice on Joes Harmon, his tail is shorter than on my F1.

[@bertraminc9412]

EXCELLENT video, Sir! Gorgeous Rocket, professional commentary and the scenery is simply incredible! Nice use of lead, lag & pure pursuit curves...I spent some time in the USAF myself and you're obviously a seriously professional pilot with ongoing hazard/threat analysis during the formation flight. I REALLY want an RV-8, but live in Germany as a retired F-15C driver, so I'll have to do some research. I also follow Trent Palmer, who does some amazing things in the Reno/Utah backcountry in his seriously STOL "Freedom Fox," you may want to give him a look. THANKS again for taking us all along, Brother!

[@WheelsInTheSky]

Nice to meet you Steve. Thanks for your comments. Half my AF pilot training class was from Germany, always wanted to go over there to live for a while. I know of Trent Palmer, his videos inspired me to get a plane. I’m still looking for a bush plane, but wanted a Rocket or RV8 first as they can get you where you’re going a bit faster. Let me know if you get an RV8.

What a surprise to find this video! I'm the builder of F1 Rocket N5491W. First flight in 2005 and "Slipped the surly bonds of earth" for ~ 10 years. The IO 540 made for one sweet ride - still looking good! Reluctantly sold her few years ago and built a Carbon Cub EX-2 - was time to go "Low and Slow". Safe Flights.

Keep making beautiful flight videos and I'll keep on watching them!

Hi Dave R. Thanks so much for your comments. You may find you need both airplanes, one is never enough! I’ve been looking for a backcountry plane for a while now. My friend and I go up to Idaho to explore the countryside, but we can only land on very smooth grass. There are so many places we want to go. But, I have to say, there’s nothing like the speed and agility of an RV. Hard decision. Please keep me posted on what you decide.

[@deravator]

Gorgeous airplane and a beautiful flight. The video captured with the 360 camera is great. Keep up the quality content. This video reminds me of the simulator flight programs I used fly only with better scenery and actual footage. Thanks David.

[@WheelsInTheSky]

Thanks David, every time I go fly here, I’m just amazed how pretty it is. The other evening we took a two ship up and just cruised around Mount Olympus and Lone Peak sight seeing. There’s a peak just behind Lone Pk where the skiers tracks start at the very top where they get dropped by helicopter! Looked like they had an incredible ski run down the mountain!

[@Flying2ZC]

I think your point about he knoll blending in to the background was pretty valid and makes good sense. Theres some serious energy management going on when you form up - great video spectacular on my mac27" 4k pro. You guys seem to have similar problems to us with local businesses putting up barriers like your aluminium trees on final. IN England they plant lilandi fur trees which grow to30m in a few years. Beats me!

[@WheelsInTheSky]

Hi Richard, I’ll bet it’s nice watching on that 27”. That was an amazing flight we had that evening. I felt I had to say something about the hills blending in because it doesn’t happen that often. But when it does, it’s amazing how they can just disappear.. Those trailers at the end actually sit on a bit of a high spot, just to make it worse!

Hi RECKEM ROYS RC. Thank you. I bought the plane last March 30th, when I saw it, I knew I would buy it.

Great footage, never seen this before where we appear to be outside the aircraft entirely at times! But how come we do not see the boom on which the camera is mounted? Has that been removed digitally in the editing process?

[@WheelsInTheSky]

Hi Stewart. I hadn’t seen it either till a couple months ago when I heard someone talking about a 360 camera. But, the cameras have been around for a number of years. The boom gets edited out by the camera. No talent on my part - I just turn it on. This particular camera is an Insta360 one X2. I also tried the GoPro Max, but quickly sent it back after one flight.

Hi Anthony. Yes you need a pilots license, unless the plane you’re interested in falls in the Light Sport Aircraft category (LSA). In that case, you just need a recreational pilots license and a valid drivers license. I believe light sport aircraft have to be under a certain weight and horsepower. Certainly worth looking into.

I probably didn’t give it a fair chance, tested it on a real bumpy day. Stabilization was bad and stitch line awful. GoPro said it would work better if instead of using the GoPro app, use the GoPro Player app. I sent the camera back and bought a second Insta.

Hello Sir Hamsalot. They are pretty similar. Probably the biggest difference would be the engine. RV8’s have a 4 cylinder and Rockets have a 6 cylinder engine. After that, the most noticeable is probably the windscreen and canopy. The Rocket windscreen has a more gradual slope and the aft portion of the canopy then blends into the fuselage. Whereas the canopy on the RV8 appears to sit on top of the plane. Thanks for watching!
