REFLECTOR: Velocity move-out

[Douglas Holub]

Sad to see you go, Keith.  I know this project has been your passion.  I look forward to seeing Dick's plane someday, because there will be a lot of you in it.

  Yesterday I met Travis Holland and Dan Fast at the Lincoln Regional Airport north of Sacramento to load up the mostly-complete XLFG kit for delivery to its new owner on the opposite coast.  It's quite a process, using a trailer and rigging system developed by Scott Swing and Travis.  It ends up with the fuselage (with engine installed, in this case) pointed forward with a roll of approximately 45 degrees to the right, the wings tucked along either side with the winglets overlapping in front, and the canard strapped to the deck under the left side of the fuselage.  Getting the fuselage to that position in a controlled manner was an interesting process!

   

  I wanted to say thanks to all of you who provided information and advice on the project over the past decade or so, and wish each of you the best with your project or plane.  The Velocity community is a great asset to builders!

   

  The new owner of the project is Dick Harpster of Pinehurst, North Carolina.  I would expect him to be popping up on this list with questions as he begins the "education and recreation" of completing the plane.  I may lurk for a while more, but I expect to be dropping off the radar on this list in a few months.

   

  Regards,
