 Ken, 
Hardly anything is too short to fly, and besides, you'll help inspire all those in the hangar toiling away on their "projects"!

  Yes I am going to go into production on these as I do think it is a good product. I was not ready to do so yet, but if the need is out there I will change my priority list and get on task. As some of you know, I do not make a living selling Velo parts. If I can improve the Velo or help the group with anything that will, Sign me up! I try to charge a fair price for anything coming out of my shop, so pricing will be set as soon as cost is finalized. I would guess that the final production price will be in the neighborhood of $200. I think that is close, but then again, when I get done with all involved costs, it may be less....... or more.   I hope less. Anyone who has the need NOW, Please let me know and I will try to do what I can to help or supply. I have not talked to the factory about this being a supplied part and do not even know if they would endorse it. They have been kind to me in the past and I should probably take the trip to the factory and see them in person (a 16 mile trip)     .1 by Velo     (too far to drive, too short to fly???)

  Ken- did you say that   you were going to manufacture these? Would be interested in the spirit of KISS   and all- this is a much better design then what is supplied with the kit, and   the factory should consider converting over.  Please let me know how much   you think they would be- I can fab one if you have some drawings that you   could supply/sell.  
   
Thanks

        Those that were interested in the video of the Mechanical Nose Door assembly   can now find it on Brett's Wiki site   http://wiki.velocityxl.com/index.php?title=Mishler_nose_gear        Thanks to Brett.   I would much rather work on airplanes than try to   figure out how to send pictures on a computer. I wrote that I have 2 ready to   ship but I must explain that these 2 are just prototypes and will not be   the final production part. I would like to install 1 or 2 more so as to get   the variables ironed out before putting them into production. Some day soon   this would be an afternoon retrofit but not yet. I would really like the   next install to be local (FL) if possible, so I could oversee   any imperfections in my instructions or product.     
  
       Just a note about the closing mechanism. The hydraulic system that comes with   a Velocity kit works   really well and has for years. The only reason for the Mechanical system   was to eliminate the need for the extra plumbing, the door closing cylinder   and the sequence valve.
