REFLECTOR: Velocity Pictures

[RBrim]

I noticed on the flyover picture of N2059U
<http://wiki.velocityxl.com/index.php?title=Firefly_N2059U> , that there's
no nose gear door in place.  I have often wondered what would be the
downside of removing those doors, as the upside to me would be gaining the
ability to drop the gear at a normal cruise speed instead of having to get
below 120 kts.

 

Has anyone tried that or have any results from doing away with the nose gear
doors on a retractable?

Not of the Velocity, it's still registered to Proxy, so I'm guessing they
still use it as a testbed, I found a couple of more pictures
<http://wiki.velocityxl.com/index.php?title=UAV_N20PX> , pretty interesting
stuff.  I also noticed that the one that looks like the KARA Firefly
(Skyraider) is registered as a Firefly, does anyone know if this a re-badged
N2059U <http://wiki.velocityxl.com/index.php?title=Firefly_N2059U> , or if
it's just a copy?  Looks like a copy to me, the nose is slightly thinner,
and the doors are short.

Folks,
 
I'm going to put another plug in for the Wiki and our Pictures page.  
After another big push, I now have pictures of over 180 unique paint 
schemes/flying (or flown) Velocity aircraft.  I'd love to get a picture 
of everyone, and I know I've heard the figure "over 400" floating 
about.  So how about it?  If you're proud of your plane, won't you send 
in a picture, or post it yourself on the Wiki?
