REFLECTOR: Experiance required to fly a Velocity

Sounds to me like someone who would enjoy flying the Velocity.
Handling and control will be different - but he should be accustom to aircraft being "different" based on the various models he has flown.
Staying ahead of the aircraft in an IFR/IMC environment might be something of a challenge (the Mooney 231 comes the closest).
If he is an active pilot, he should have no problems at all transitioning to Velocity.

  I have a potential buyer for my Velocity who is concerned that it may be too fast or difficult to fly.  I think he is highly qualified, but then I may be biased.  He is 65 and has 2147 hours in the following aircraft (in order of most recent): C172, RV4, Mooney Ranger, Mooney 231, Rockwell Commander, Piper Arrow I and II, and a Citrabra.  I would appreciate comments from those of you flying a Velocity as to how your checkout went and how it is to fly.  I will pass the comments on to him and let him think it over. 

  Thank You
