REFLECTOR: New velocity builder setting up shop.

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Exactly what I did Rene', 

After I built a shop at my old home to build the Velocity in, I wandered 
through Mid Valley Airpark while on an errand. I thought "Man this would be a nice 
to build and then fly the Velocity". The sequence of events was mind 
boggling. I copied down 4 phone numbers that day. The next day I looked at 3 of those 
homes for sale. 
The day after that I made an offer (contingent on my home selling) and it was 
accepted. 
The next day I had a Realtor come over and give me a market analysis and put 
up the sign. 
The next afternoon I had a full price offer! 
   Crap, I have to move all this stuff!!! The wings and winglets were built, 
but not attached to each other. 
Within 45 days I lived at an airpark! , amazing. 
I think this place is fantastic. Lots of interesting people that also are 
interested in the Velocity project and many offer to help. 
I now manage the airport here and continue to build away in my own hangar 
that is 7 steps from my back porch. Everyone here wants to hear this V-6 velocity 
run, and cant wait for test flight day. The taxi tests will be a breeze, 
since they will be in my own neighborhood!


One of the best moves I ever did. Thanks Velocity.

After reading the replies so far my only addition is Build a new house
with attached 30 x 40 ft garage.  It keeps you, the wife and the
neighbors soothed if not happy.  Preferably build at an Air Ranch for
extra help and access to eventual runway. Suggest good weather area -
southwest US?  I recommend job change so you do not have to go to work
any more to enjoy the building maximally.  I have many more but I will
throw these pearls only often enough to keep your interest.
