That thing does look sweet! And fast!
Did he buy it or build it?

He built it, completed in August 2005. Interestingly enough, the guy's last name is Harmon. No relation though.

Wait a minute ... you can't build a rocket with a nosewheel, can you?
HA! Just kidding. That is a sweet airplane. Maybe someday that will be a second project...

I'll be paying for my indecision for the rest of my life with you guys, huh...
If any of you know Walter Tondu, he finished his -7A this summer, and just started an HR II project...all it takes is time AND mooooooooola!
Watch out

Chad, watch out! Don't let any F1 Rocket owner catch you calling their airplane a Harmon Rocket. You'll get an earful. Go ahead, ask me how I know.
I could be wrong, but that looks like an F1 Rocket to me.
So, come get me, let's take it for a spin.

Yeah, I think you're right. The F1 has that 'smiley' cowl, right? It doesn't have the Evo wing, so it's not a II.
I could get out to Cali pretty quick in that thing!

The canopy is what gives it away (to me at least).

Yeah ... I've been waiting for him to update his site so I can follow along with the build process but he hasn't touched it in a while!

I know Walter, I bought my empenage kit from him. And now it's mine, all mine!

Under and just forward of the HS. I purposely took the pictures so they would not be seen. If the airplane was somewhere else, I wouldn't have cared, but since he was here as a Malibu training customer, I need to keep identities under wraps...

"I need to keep identities under wraps"
Yet you posted his last name...I would blame it on the epoxy fumes, but I don't think you ordered it yet. Maybe those BRIGHT LEDS are messing with you!

I agree that the F1 EVO is about the sexiest plane you could build! (for under $175K) If my wife would have agreed to the view from the back seat we may have pulled the trigger on an EVO. She sat in the demo at OSH 2005 and just couldn't do it even though it FIT ME LIKE A GLOVE!
(can't say that I blame her)
The "Speed Slope" canopy really makes the plane too! From what I remember, it's an option on the EVO kit.

Oops. Forgot about that...Oh well, what's in a last name anyway... 
You're right, must be the LED's frying my brain!
