Ron,

I have FS 2002 also. Could you send me the files for a Velo model - or let
me know where they can be found.

Thanks,

Tony

Actually, after sending the note, I fired up FS2002 and lined up on 18R at 
CLT, which is a 10,000 ft runway.  The model does pretty good at lifting the

nose, and you can land and hold the nose off down to about 50 knots.  But 
again, this is not the same as real flying (but pretty good for 
learning!!!).
