Hello Velocity owners and builders! This style of email list is somewhat new to me, but I wanted to join, say hi, and let you all know two things.
First, while not a Velocity builder yet, my wife and I intend to build one when my Cub is done. We had planned to start building one in 2005. I was on the phone with Scott ready to order when I realized that I didn't have the proper shop space to build one. I switched to choice number 2, an RV-8, and my wife immediately switched me to choice 3, the RV-7. She didn't want to sit behind me, and still doesn't. So while I am now building a Cub, she still wants a traveling airplane with room for the dogs. We will be back to a Velocity kit soon!
Secondly, I have been on staff at EAA for a bit over a year now, and I'm sure you all know of the changes that happened first back in January, and more recently at the end of October with Rod leaving EAA. I want you guys to know that I, and EAA, have a lot of work to do to bring back the core of what EAA is, and I now feel we are beginning a new era to do just that. I am on the senior leadership team (the VP's) and that's an important thing for us homebuilders. There will still be things on place at EAA to ensure we survive financially and remain relevant, but what EAA is isn't going anywhere. It's the homebuilders, chapters, and volunteers that make it what it is. All are welcome...Paul said that on day one, and he said it at a dinner last week.
Let me know what I can do, and I look forward to participating here with you all!
