Hi,
This is Erik Franks with the Velocity XL-RG. Just finished the 40 hour Phase 
1 flight test program yesterday. My friend Al Smith who is test flying wants 
to compare the handling characteristics of this Velocity to another one and 
was hoping to ride with another pilot in the Los Angeles/Bakersfield/San 
Diego area.
We tried lowering the ailerons 1/4" with neutral stick and that seemed to 
make handling much worse. Even with vortilons and trailing edge fences 
control at 85 knots isn't as good as we'd like. Any suggestions? Any 
opportunity for a ride along? Thank you.
-Erik Franks
