REFLECTOR: Velocity at KFCI today

Tue May 14 20:30:05 CDT 2013

Chris,

Thanks for the clarification. I had assumed N21VA was a 2-door SUV because it has an SUV serial number (SUV 113) on its registration. Contradictorily, it has a Model designation of SE-RG even though in the photo, the G look very F. So now I'm totally confused.

Two doors = SE makes sense. Some others have told me that yokes & cut keel = SUV, regardless of doors. Maybe the bottom line is: in experimental aviation we all have the privilege of calling our planes whatever we want. If Creus wanted this to be Velocity SE-RG SUV 113, then so be it!

Whatever you call it, it's still a good looking plane in my book.

I duel door is and SE, not an SUV, IMAO.  Mine was delivered as an SUV the day before the factory did away with the SUV option.  The factory stated adding a second door was the difference between the two and the only exterior difference.  On the inside the difference is a cut down keel (to aid passenger seat entry sliding in from the single pilot door) and dual yokes.....the yokes became an option for a while. I don't know is yokes are still offered since the introduction of the side sticks.  May be just a tomato/tomaaahhhto think but seems the two doors makes a big enough difference to make it an SE with dual gull wing doors. FWIW

That's Ruben Creus's dual-door SUV. Looks like it's registered to the Glass Pilots Club of Ashburn, VA.

Good looking plane!

Hi all,
So I was out doing some approaches today and when I landed, I noticed a Velocity on the ramp.  I think it was an SUV variant (had yokes) and was a FG with a fixed pitched cato prop.  N number was N21VA.  I looked around for you to chat, but was a bit pressed for time so I had to scoot.  Just wondering if it might have been somebody on this list.

Best,
Peter
