Dear Brian
My name is Dave Dent. My story was in the last Velocity Views. I =
bought Leon Howe's XL/RG from Australia. I have been flying it for =
awhile now and I would like to start participating with those that have =
been flying these beautiful birds for some time. =20
I have encountered a number of problems I have worked through and now =
have encountered the bad landing characteristic problems. I called John =
and Mary Wright last night and had a wonderful time talking to them. =
They suggested that I write you and see if I could join the Reflector.
=20
My back ground is 45 years in aviation. Com.Pilot,Inst.ME and A/P-IA. =
Started flying in 1963 and have just over 4000 something hours. I have =
over 1400 hours flying canard type planes. I worked with NASA from 1993 =
to 2000 dealing with remote piloted high altitude aircraft design and =
testing out of Edwards AFB. Built a number of planes and test flown a =
few as well.=20
We have two other planes as well. That is my partner and I, A long EZ =
with just under 1400 hrs and a Cozy IV with right round 350hrs. Both =
are now up for sale because of the purchase of the Velocity. I have =
been flying the EZ around to different places to put adds up and show =
and tell and rides trying to sell it. Right now there are a few =
interested in it. But no money. Hope to sell them this summer.
I will be bringing my Velocity N32XL to Marysville on the 18th and show =
it with the others.=20
=20
The one big thing I would like to find out is what has been other then =
the vortex generators and fences to relieve the slow speed landing =
problem? I can't remember ever flying a plane that was so hard to put =
down on the ground, when it flys so great in the air. =20
I have the nose gear problem solved. But there is more work needed =
there. It isn't over yet. =20
Your consideration in letting me join would be greatly appreciated.=20
