Since you can get some slop in cables – especially when they run quite a
distance, I decided to slave the two throttle quads with a torque tube that
runs behind the instrument panel.  This way both throttles are connected to
a stiff bar that then operates one cable back to the engine.  If you look at
the web address I gave you, there are some photos that show the
installation.

Kevin,
I was thinking of doing the same with the throttles- did you just slave the
co-pilot to the pilot? or do they both run to the firewall?

Alex,

We installed dual slaved P-51-style throttle quadrants.  The mixture and
prop controls are push-pulls.

I’ve been following your progress through Milt – Keep at it!

Kevin,
I remember Milton told me that you were doing some airbrush painting on the
plane- looks interesting! I am still a way off, getting my engine installed
now, but will plan to fly before interior installation (except for the seats
of course) so I am trying to get some ideas together....... I would be
interested to see the exterior paint whenever you get them uploaded, please
let me know,    also, what is the black handle to the left of the instrument
panel? Is it the throttle, with vernier control for mixture and prop?
Really nice job, wish I was done too..............

Alex

Alex,

I just got the plane back from the interior shop two days ago.  Did a final
w&b and finished flying off my 40 hours yesterday - on the 100 yr
anniversary!

I do have a place you can view all the photos during the construction
process, however, I don’t have any pics of the paint job on it – I haven’t
taken any yet.  There is so much detail in it that unless you are standing
right in front of it, you can’t really appreciate it – pictures just don’t
do it justice.  However, I will upload a few pics of my interior today.  The
photos are at Sony Imagestation – you have to join (create user name &
password) – it’s free.

There is a fair picture of the entire plane (not close up, though) on the
cover of this month’s America’s Flyways.

Regards,

Kevin

Kevin,
Do you have a web site or any other pictures of your aircraft? - I am
interested in the paint scheme and interior that you used- it is hard to see
clearly in the rather small picture on the web site, and I would like  more
detail if possible...

Thanks

Alex

Thanks, Pete.  It was quite a thrill to see our picture on the front page –
we were expecting something much smaller in the Living section. If Saddam
was captured just a little bit earlier – we would have been bumped – timing
is everything!

Send me your email address so we could make arrangements to hook up at DVT.

Kevin

Congratulations to Kevin Steiner and Brooke Bessesen!!!!!!  Their Velocity
is gracing the front page of the Arizona Republic as a part of celebration
of flight in AZ - in preparation for the 100th anniversary.  For those of
you not familiar with AZ Republic, it is the state's largest newspaper and
is published primarily for the Phoenix metro area but is available
statewide.  The picture is great publicity for Velocity.  All in the picture
look great - your dog is a wonderful touch..........  The picture is at
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/1214aviation-main.htm
l

They are quoted in an article at
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1214aviation-spirit.html

As a aside, Kevin and Brooke, we didn't realize you had moved to Deer Valley
Airport.  Where are you located (Kevin, I think you know we are at the SE
hangars at 21-5)?  We'd love to come and see your airplane while we are out
there.  We've been out most weekends trying to fly off our 40 hours.  We're
about 1/2 way done.  We fly on most Saturdays in the AM and on Sundays
during the mid-day.  Let us know when you are usually out there and
hopefully we can come by to see your beautiful Velocity.
