Dan and all,
Mine is HR II #233... built with F-1 canopy and RV8 tail.
These probably slow me down a bit due to increased frontal area and
wetted area... but I'm happy with the features... and I like the looks.

Was the F1 tail unique in its structural design in size or airfoil shape such that RV/HR parts cannot duplicate?
I'm not exactly sure what the differences are between the RV/HR/F1 tails but my F1 tail was built with enough issues that I considered rebuilding it. As I tore it appart I realized that the skeleton was fine (structurally) but I ended up needing to scratch build replacement skins. I fabbed the skins myself using some equipment at one of our local sheet metal fab shops and with the assistance of a few of the local EAA folks and a tech advisor I reassembled the tail. I now have a straight and true tail that I am much happier with from both structural and asthetic perspectives.
