Yes I am going to go into production on these as I do think it is a good
product. I was not ready to do so yet, but if the need is out there I will
change my priority list and get on task. As some of you know, I do not make a
living selling Velo parts. If I can improve the Velo or help the group with
anything that will, Sign me up! I try to charge a fair price for anything coming
out of my shop, so pricing will be set as soon as cost is finalized. I would
guess that the final production price will be in the neighborhood of $200. I
think that is close, but then again, when I get done with all involved costs,
it may be less....... or more. I hope less. Anyone who has the need NOW,
Please let me know and I will try to do what I can to help or supply. I have
not talked to the factory about this being a supplied part and do not even
know if they would endorse it. They have been kind to me in the past and I
should probably take the trip to the factory and see them in person (a 16 mile
trip) .1 by Velo (too far to drive, too short to fly???)

Ken- did you say that you were going to manufacture these? Would be
interested in the spirit of KISS and all- this is a much better design then what is
supplied with the kit, and the factory should consider converting over.
Please let me know how much you think they would be- I can fab one if you have
some drawings that you could supply/sell.
Thanks
Alex

(http://wiki.velocityxl.com/index.php?title=Mishler_nose_gear) Thanks to Brett. I would much rather work on airplanes than
try to figure out how to send pictures on a computer. I wrote that I have 2
ready to ship but I must explain that these 2 are just prototypes and will
not be the final production part. I would like to install 1 or 2 more so as to
get the variables ironed out before putting them into production. Some day
soon this would be an afternoon retrofit but not yet. I would really like the
next install to be local (FL) if possible, so I could oversee any
imperfections in my instructions or product.
Just a note about the closing mechanism. The hydraulic system that comes with
a Velocity kit works really well and has for years. The only reason for the
Mechanical system was to eliminate the need for the extra plumbing, the door
closing cylinder and the sequence valve.
