Very cool!
...but can you please make mine a Velocity XL Extra Wide?
Also... faster. 200 knots is nothing to sneeze at, but the Velocity XL supposedly already does that...? I'd like my turbine to boogie baby. Can we go 250 or even 300 kias in one of those things without ripping its wings off?
...350...? 400 knots?!
Granted, I couldn't afford the gas for the engine that could produce that speed, let alone the aircraft. It would be fun though!
Fine. Turboprop RV-10 then.
At one point he put it up for sale. I do not know what became of that, if it sold or not. He is the former owner of the now defunct Blue Mountain Avionics out of Tennessee. I met him once when I flew in to have an EFIS serviced.
Saw this at Oshkosh last year:

No I'm building a 0-200 for it. got most of the parts gathered except the light speed piston set. 1200 for 4 pistons, rings, and wrist pin set.Is this the new engine for your Vareze?
geez, I had no idea!!!
very cool, but again I was hoping for "wow" cruise speed... I think he mentioned they got 170 kts that day... with a $110,000 turboprop! doesn't an old bo with a piston engine go that fast?
I know nothing, so just unrealistic expectations...
And possibly over the fence at 130 knots.
I think this is a case of having your cake and eating it too....and isn't that the deal killer right there? If not for that little bump, the Lancair IV would perhaps be more coveted.
I'm thinking big money will go to the guy who can design something that will cruise like a Lancair IV, yet still stall at 55 knots flaps extended.

I guess we can want ?I had to google those aircraft. All were very cool!
I want an aircraft with the L-39 speed, stall speed of the Evolution, easily seats 4 big people with full fuel, sips gas like a 172, and costs the same as a new SUV, please. To go.
sorry I'm drifting this thread...
yah, it's definitely having my cake and eating it too!I guess we can want ?
Get drafting!! When you have a mock up let us all know.I had to google those aircraft. All were very cool!
