Bill;

 

Congrats!

 

I started mine Velocity 1997 expecting to fly 2000-2001.  First flight was 2006. Delays like this seem to be the norm.  First flight was also once around the patch – oil temp over 220F. It’s all part of the challenge.  It has become a wonderful reliable airplane with 210 hours.

 

Have fun!

 

Al

Thanks for all the encouraging words, guys! 

 

I can attest that for those of you not flying, the feeling when you leave the ground is exactly what you have been dreaming it would be like all those years!  :>)  I started this thing in 2002 thinking it would be about a year.  Don’t give up, the end result is well worth it!
