Hi folks,
The major differentiator of a Standard Velocity is not the doors but the wingspan = chk that against a Velo 173. Big difference. 173 same wing as an XL.
Now I can't remember if the 173 ever had a claim shell door - I think not.
Congrats on getting an N number Doug!
And Greg, is that Swimming Carnival some kind of Esther Williams thing ?
Regards,
Jeff Barnes
Still have virgin XL-RG for sale

My top door Velocity received its registration last week: "Velocity Standard FG"
