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!
