RE: REFLECTOR: Sport Aviation - Velocity

FWIW...

John's been very patient about getting all of the known, and potentially 
problematic, bugs worked out.  He finally got all of his insurance 
paperwork and hopes to get his checkout ride with Scott Baker early next 
week (gotta get the pilot ready too!).  This means that maybe by the end of 
next week he'll finally do his official first flight.  He's It looks like 
he's doing all of the right things so I'm sure his first flight will be 
uneventful.

I'll let you know how it goes.

That is a good article on Tim's Velocity. There is also a write up in issue 
number 48 of Contact magazine on his bird.   I hope mine turns out as nice. 
I'm looking forward to hearing more information on the factory's work on 
the
NACA scoop cooling. I'd like to incorporate something like that into my V-6 
Velocity.
It sounds like Tim will have some V-6 company at velocity flyins soon, I
should be done by the end of the year ( dreamer!), Dennis is working away 
at
his. I haven't heard much about John Kiss's project lately, at least his is 
rolling under it's own power!  Dennis and I are going full out on the 
Engine
( aluminum block, custom crank, rods, fuel system, etc). That should 
provide
a pretty good test base for future V-6 Velocity considerators.
Well, Back to the hangar!
