G'Day!

With the final issue of Velocity Views now out & indicating that the Velocity factory will look to provide a web based replacement, I am hoping that some of the high quality contributions from builders that has graced the Reflector recently can be fed into the system.  With many more builders to draw on  I'm also hoping that many more will now contribute their own info via this medium now that it is finally available free to all and sundry - after all we cannot expect the factory to keep coming up with new information all the time to keep things interesting.

Al; the pictures you recently posted on the Catto prop, spinner and your custom cowl installation really look like a major work of art - absolutely beautiful ....if they perform as well in function as well as they look (& the initial indications of the Catto trials do look fantastic) then you and the other guys working in these areas are doing all of us who have yet to get there - a huge service. Thanks heaps! (heck, I was already ruing the day I might have to shell out for an MT to get the performance out of my Velocity - especially given how additionally expensive they are in OZ because of our lousy exchange rate .....seems you blokes might eventually find out the way the US$ has been headed lately!)

Many thanks to Ronny for generously forwarding the Tim London video  explaining Tim's belly scoop and engine combination - received today. This video confirmed more about air movement and practical cooling than anywhere else I have been exposed to - to date. Ronny - I do so look forward to meeting you and shouting you a drink or two when we do - either here or when next  I'm in the US.

Best regards to all!

Greg in Sydney
Finally back doing some more on my STD RG E.
