REFLECTOR: Velocity Models

Pedantics perhaps...in current Velocity lingo/convention/factoryspeak, I
believe the "standard" refers to the fuselage size with "Elite" qualifying
the gull wing doors (though this has not carried across to the XL models -
probably because they never came out with anything but gull wing doors).
Most people talk about the Clamshell or Top Door in simply referring to the
old discontinued models - I've never heard anybody referring to them as the
standard - particularly now that they are no longer in production.

Nuff already!

The clamshell or Top Door is the original Standard or Std whether RG or
fixed gear.

The Std with gull wing doors is the SE, or Standard Elite.

thats how I understand it.
