Thanks Greg,

If I have caused injury by my "blunt remarks" concerning the Stall behavior 
of the Velocity I apologize. No harm was intended.

My remarks were borne from a desire to get to the truth.  I always try to 
maintain and fly my airplane in a manner that reduces the risk of an 
incident to the minimum.

One of the primary reasons I chose a canard to own and fly was its 
"purported" inherent safe design.  Hearing that there may be a demon hidden 
in the design just waiting to bite me caused me to respond in a aggressive 
manner.  I wanted to get to substantiated facts that would prove or 
disprove the statement that the Velocity would not recover from a stall.
