  5. Yeah, I'm on the reflector. I ussually don't participate in forums of this type. I like the freedom of a elist coming to me via email... I considered a 3 rotor, or two rotor turbo, but this engine fell into my lap. Hopefully I can rebuild it and install it for less than 15K, total cost. I'm looking forward to seeing what it will do at 20,000 ft. Scott
  6. Interesting the miss-information being posted about the Velocity... I bought a project that was barely completed, wrecked and abandoned for 5 years. Its a Standard RG with an IO360, Catto 3 bladed prop. It cruises at 170+ KTAS at 2700 RPM. 175 if its just me and bags. Thats burning about 9 GPH at 12,000 ft. The fusalges is not just glass, its a sandwich glass-foam-glass, like all the other canards. The velocity and the 4 place cozy are very similar performing airplanes, I'd place them at a dead heat as far as speed, load , etc.. Of course how you build them and whats goes into them can vary that tremendously, but the potential is pretty even. I personally think the Cozy is a bit more cozy. When I was looking for a completed or almost complete project, I started looking at Longs, realized my wife would like the back seat, niether would I, then switched to looking at any side by side seating canard. Almost bought two different Cozy's, one was extramly miss-represented by the seller, the other was bought out from under me. Bought the Velocity and am very happy with it. It is challanged as all fast glass planes are by my 6500 ft altitude desert air field. Density altitude was 9700 today and it was not a really hot day. Thats its biggest weak point for me, so I'm going to install a larger engine next year. A TSIO520 with a fixed pitch prop. We'll see how she performs with 325 HP behind her.. Scott
