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"
