REFLECTOR: Experiance required to fly a Velocity

[Ron Brown]

HI Mel,

I went from 800 hours in a Cessna 172 with about 10 landings in a A-36 Bonanza.  Then I did the Velocity transition training which was terrific.

I found the Velocity to be fun and exciting and NOT hard to fly at all. It just lands faster and the pattern has to be a bit wider, but she climbs like a homesick angel and is a GREAT cross country and IFR airplane. 

Good luck with your sale!!!
Ronnie

  I have a potential buyer for my Velocity who is concerned that it may be too fast or difficult to fly.  I think he is highly qualified, but then I may be biased.  He is 65 and has 2147 hours in the following aircraft (in order of most recent): C172, RV4, Mooney Ranger, Mooney 231, Rockwell Commander, Piper Arrow I and II, and a Citrabra.  I would appreciate comments from those of you flying a Velocity as to how your checkout went and how it is to fly.  I will pass the comments on to him and let him think it over. 

  Thank You 

  Mel Bina STD RG
