F-2 Rocket history?

[Challenger17]

Came across an April 2002 (pg 23) article in Sport Aviation that announced TeamRocket was introducing a quick build "F-2, a side-by-side two-seater. The F-1 and F-2 aircraft share virtually the same flight specs with an expected 250 mph top speed, 230 mph true airspeed cruise, and a sea-level climb rate of more than 3,000 feet per minute." Does anybody know if anybody ever completed an F-2 Rocket? I was doing a little research because I couldn't help wonder how great it might be if there was a Rocket with side by side seating, when I came across this F-2 announcement.

The M1 Speedcruiser never quite made the cut. If I recall, one was built and it was a bit overweight and not particularly attractive. I'm not trying to berate the plane, but the Super 6 Rockets are pretty dang good looking!

You are right, that is a ugly aircraft!

Fix that canopy and put some pants on it and it would look a lot better.

I fly formation with a local Super Six. A very sexy plane. It has a 14 in. stretch in the center fuselage section in addition to the long nose.
Essentially a one-off build.
A 215 HP IO-390 -7 would be a dream compromise with much easier engineering solutions. Hmmm…Would I clip the wings, though?

I finished my Super Six in 2005 1300+ hours no issues. I absolutely love it.

If anyone is interested I have two specially built IO 540 engine mounts, airframe sketches and tech support.
