REFLECTOR: RE: Reflector Digest, Vol 15, Issue 21

Just a note to clarify things ...
Mr. Hawkins is the mechanic/maintenance representative for Proxy Aviation, 
who is the buyer of this, a previously licensed (flying) Velocity aircraft. 
I believe it is a V173-RG, but do not have the details.  Velocity, Inc. is 
providing new Velocity airframes to Proxy Aviation - we are assisting Proxy 
Aviation in building several aircraft that will ultimately be placed into 
service as Optionally Piloted-UAV's.  In the interest in saving time from 
building an aircraft from the beginning, Proxy purchased this used aircraft 
so that it could rapidly be placed into R&D service.  Velocity, Inc. has not 
inspected the aircraft in question - we don't know if a qualified person 
(someone who is familiar with Velocity aircraft) has taken a "look see" to 
determine if the aircraft is safe to fly, or not.  We have no information on 
the aircraft's history.  I see no problem with anyone from the Velocity 
pilot community helping Proxy in their search for a ferry pilot - You all 
know the drill, don't trust any aircraft until you've determined it is safe 
to fly.
