Hi to all,
this is my first post so a very brief introduction first: I am a 49 yrs old / 1,600 hrs PPL from Muenster (Germany), have owned a RV-4 with which I averaged ca. 70 hrs p.a. and now I am looking into the Rocket world as I have sold the -4 just a couple of days ago and I´d like to get a successor for it (I still have a share in a 4 seat plane).
I am an eying a HR I (single seat, I know) and I´d be glad if you folks could help me some information re the HR I (just ca. 5 built I believe) in general:
1.) As far as I understand the HR I is essentially a standard -3 with a "pumped up" motor and a raised turtleback. I am not aware of any change of seating location for CG reasons as all the parts and pieces were installed in the original locations. Is that correct?
2.) With the angle valve IO 360 I think the CG at Empty Weight (I know a MTV-12 over a i.e. a Hartzell helps) is important. What is the correct CG at empty weight please and what is a common empty weight?
3.) Too, I don´t know about potential flutter of RV-3 control surfaces at say 210kts+ IAS. Any personal limits you guys have set yourself?
4.) I am trying to find out the specs of the HR I – especially the recommended MTOW as designed as I would need that fort the process of getting it on the European Experimental register. Any one knows this (or more specs) and have some set their own MTOW?
Well, just a couple of questions as a start – I might come up with more so already many thanks for some replies.
Best, Heinz
P.S. Smokey: thank´s for pointing me to this forum!!
