Gerry,
I haven't run across an actual build log for a rocket, but www.vincesrocket.com has lots of good info on building techniques. Also, you can go to http://vansairforce.net/links.htm and click on Builder Sites for a list of RV builder sites in general. Also, there are some RV-4 sites at http://www.mykitlog.com that might be helpful.
I used Van's RV-4 wing kit with pre-drilled spars, just deleted any predrilled skins, and any parts supplied by Harmon, like tank backs and skins. The predrilled RV-4 spars don't match HRII plans dimensions exactly, but John Harmon said just locate ribs to the pre-drilled holes closest to locatons specified in the plans. Driving the -6 rivets wasn't that big a deal. I did both spars solo in a day using the Avery C-frame tool and a 3lb hanmer.
Hope this helps. Miles

I'm a naturalized citizen building a HRII in San Francisco 
Can anyone recommend a good build log on the Rocket ? I confess my flying RV-9 owes so much to the blogger/builders that went before me.
Did you all build your own wing spars ? I heard Phlogiston aren't willing any more ...
Regards,
Gerry.
