  All,

   

  I have reached the conclusion that I am not going to be the one to finish by Velocity XL FG project, so it's looking for a new owner.  It's at Lincoln, CA - north of Sacramento.

   

  The fuselage is basically complete, with the doors installed and the engine hung.  All flying surfaces are complete and finished through primer, ready for final sanding and paint.  It's currently standing on the gear legs, with wheels removed.  I have the toe brake pedals installed and plumbed.  I have the Matco 323-A multi-plate brakes and wheels.  All of the windows are installed except a pair of down-looking windows I planned to put in the strake bottoms for the rear-seat passengers.  I have the trim frames for the doors, windshield, and side windows, but no interior work has been done.

   

  The engine is an IO-540 built up by LYCON Aircraft Engines of Visalia, which has been run in their test cell more than 5 hours, then pickled.  It produced 292 hp with the SS 3-to-1 exhausts (by Custom Aircraft Parts of El Cajon) and the LASAR ignitions.  I have a 60-amp B&C belt-driven main alternator installed, plus an 8-amp backup alternator on the vacuum pump pad.  The fuel system is mostly plumbed, with a fuel filter, Flo-Scan flow meter and electric fuel pump installed.  Engine plenum and baffles are complete.  Cowling is fitted but not installed.  I have a Catto 68" dia x 76" pitch prop with Saber 6" extension and Chris Wade spinner.

   

  The wings are currently removed, but are filled and finished through primer with the winglets and rudders installed.  Whelen strobe/nav lights are fitted to the wingtips and a strobe power supply is installed in the back of the fuselage.  The control hook-ups still  need to be done.  The canard is also finished through primer, with elevators and counterweights installed.  The "doghouse" is installed on the top of the canard to be removable for avionics maintenance access.

   

  I have a pre-wired instrument panel with dual GRT EFIS installed in the plane, but much of the airframe wiring is still to be done.  I have plenty of mil-spec tefzel wire and accessories to complete the wiring.

   

  In summary, it's a pretty complete package, except for interior and paint.  It can be a good deal for the right person - I will entertain reasonable offers.

   

  Regards,
