I can't wait to see the twin. My wife has decided that supporting me through building two Velocities is her limit. I look forward to watching others' kits progress to completion and seeing some twins flying. I bet the twin is mobbed at Oshkosh.

Since it has more wing area and weighs close to an XL it would seem that it will have respectable VYSE. It will have no VMC as the canard will lower the nose prior to loosing directional control. Keep in mind the Duane would never sell any airplane that won't do as advertised so no matter what the conclusion the flight testing determines, the team at Velocity will give the world an airplane that will both perform and turn heads.
