Item specifics
| “I originally posted that there might be issues with the wing skins and may need new foam cores or the wings redone. This weekend I had a composite aircraft expert stop by to inspect the aircraft and he said that the issue I had with the wings is not really an issue and all he would do is lay one extra layer of glass on the wings and they will be fine. Everything that is included in the kit is listed on Velocity's webpage. If you would like support from the factory they will charge a 1 time transfer fee of around $800.” |

Over and over, Velocity builders demonstrate their ability to adapt to Velocity"s composite building techniques. When composing the building manual, Velocity assumed that the builder had no experience in aerodynamics or airframe construction, and does not try to teach this. The instructions simply show and tell you how to build your Velocity, explaining what you are building, how to maintain it, and what function it has in making your aircraft fly – in simple, everyday language. By the time your Velocity is complete, you will have a good understanding of composites and how to work with them, as well as a helpful bit of knowledge in simple basic electrical, fuel, and mechanical systems. Velocity Online newsletter is a builder"s support network, which includes factory news items, kit plans changes, answers to technical questions from builders, product information, builder forum with tips and input, first flights, fly-ins and social events.
