REFLECTOR: Velocity University - October 3-5

[Kevin Baker]

Hi Scott,
Sounds like a great event.
Just my 2 c...   The 1st Velocity University was in Dallas. I think 
more folks attended (or signed up) due to the fact that it was 
centrally located in the country and it was easier for folks to get there.
I would be able to attend if like before, but am unable to get way 
over to Florida for the event   :-(

I know logistically it is much easier in Florida.. .. just me 2 
cents.... and thoughts.

Sorry I will miss it....

attending what will be a great event. The program has 18-different 
speakers who are looking forward to share their knowledge on 
everything from basic composites to first flight. I am very excited 
to hear words from Peter Diamandis, founder of the X-Prize, speak at 
the Saturday dinner. Granger Whitelaw, founder of the Rocket Racking 
League and chairman of the board for Velocity, Inc will give words of 
welcome and talk about rocket powered Velocity aircraft and the 
Rocket Racing League. Larry Van Pelt will speak on flight testing - 
preparing for first flights and conducting a safe and effective 
Phase-1 flight test program. Tim Casey from Garmin International will 
talk about the new G900X system, now with synthetic vision, for 
Velocity aircraft. Don George (Don George Aircraft) will share 
information about new and overhauled aircraft engines and performance 
options for experimental engines - and more. See
