I think in general the mission of a RV-10 and Velocty XL are similar,
though the Velocity is a somewhat faster and larger airplane, and I
think about 25 percent longer range.

The "kind" of person though is quite different.
Those that prefer the Velocity or any other canard airplane seem to be
more the rebel type. They would like to stand out in a crowd.
Those that choose an RV seem to be more interested in "fitting in"....
Their second plane would be a C182...

And then there are those that just don't like composite airplanes...
