Get the F-1 Rocket quick build kit. I know of a fellow in Alberta who completed one in 11 months.

Exactly.

http://www.teamrocketaircraft.com/

Designed from the ground up to be a 300 hp airplane, not a 150 hp airplane modified to take a 300 hp engine.

Not to mention decent sized cockpit and baggage space.

And the tapered wings look so cool (but I hear they take way longer to build than the hershey bars).

Thanks alot for the link. Does Ken Fowler and Eric Hanson have any part of this or did they just choose the same name?

Eric has an F-1 and Ken has a Harmon, or at least Ken did last time I saw him. They have built and sold at least one more F-1.
