REFLECTOR: UNUSUAL REQUEST

[Tom Martino]

MY OPINION ONLY:
 
1.	More room & comfort
2.	Better visibility
3.	Better economy
4.	Parachute
5.	More room for cargo
6.	Cheaper insurance
7.	Wife more willing to fly in it.
 
This is not a "slam" on Velocity.  I LOVE MY VELOCITY.

Tom,
 
What is it about the Cirrus that makes it better for cross country
flying than the Velocity?

	I almost feel guilty ... but I must share my thoughts!
	 
	First ... I must say I LOVE MY VELOCITY.
	 
	My 173 Elite RG (w/ IO-540 -- 310hp -- and MT 4-blade) is a "Hot
Rod"
	 
	I have put every factory option you can get in it.  I have also
added many options developed just for me.
	 
	It has a glass cockpit and other cool features.
	 
	But now that the project is over ... I am looking for other
challenges.  Part of the joy I find in aviation is the project itself.
I love designing, building, experimenting and learning new things.
	 
	As I examine my airplane inventory ... I realize I have too many
SELs.  I have a new Cirrus (for cross-country flying), I have a Champ
tail-dragger and an Ercoupe restoration (in addition to my Velocity).
	 
	So ... here is my desire ... If possible I want to find a
"trade" ... I am specifically looking for some kind of rotorcraft.  The
cost of parts alone on my plane is around $160,000 ... so a comparable
value would be best ... but I would consider anything.
	 
	If anyone knows of anyone who has a helicopter for trade for a
very fast and clean Velocity ... let me know.
	 
	This is probably a long shot ... but I have to start somewhere.
	 
	Here is the link to photos of my plane (scroll down to the
Velocity photos)

	I appreciate any help you can give me.
	 
	Tom
