Thomas, 
 
   I don't have to go back in the archives.  I had an exchange with Al on 
8/16-8/18, this year, where he was quite specific: above and beyond the 
communication issues (he could easily have acquired a GoogleMail account), 
he had sold his Velocity, citing reasons that were personal enough that I 
won't go into any more detail than I have.  Fortunately, the buyer wanted 
to keep the rotary power, so I imagine that somewhere in and/or near 
Michigan, N755V is being used to bore holes in the sky with a "hummmmmm".

Al G. also sold his Velocity early this year.  Something about family problems.  So he's out of the rotary aviation hobby.

If you go back into the archives, you'll find the reason we do not hear from Al.

Here's from one Dave forwarded to the group at Al's request:

Hi; Dave,

I’m very thankful to hear that this occurred after landing.

I’ve been unable to post on the rotary engine list for months due to blocking by Cox. Perhaps you’d post this message on my behalf:
