  1. I knew when I found this forum that it was an awsome resource. I really appreciate this feed back from every one. I haven't talked to anyone at velocity, I have been contemplating this for a while and have only spent a few hours thinking about it. The CG discussion is something i knew was an issue with the concept but could be corrected by elongating the cockpit and placing the fuel between the pilot row and the passenger row thus keeping the fuel closer to the plane's CG also I was thinking of adding luggage compartment in front to offset the extra weight due to two engines in the strake area. I know it is a major modification but that's what I was hoping to to get out of this forum for the time being. I'll do some more research into what it takes to get there and in the mean time if anyone has any more ideas then please keep them coming. Sincerely
  2. Dear fellow Canardians! I'm very green to the aviation world, I don't have a PPL or a plane. It was my life long dream to be a pilot (which boy doesn't) and now it seems I'm on my way. I plan to get my PPL in 3 years and build myself a plane in 5 (hopefully). I have done some research and based on agility, speed, comfort, safety (canards after all have the best stall characteristics) and endurance, I have decided on a Velocity SE-RG or XL-RG. What I want to do is use two Centurion 1.7, 135 hp jet fuel engines in pusher format. I want to install these balanced on the two sides of the canard equally spaced about the centerline of the fuselage. I want to use the space where the engine presently sits for fuel tanks and avoid the Jeffco and the strakes fuel tank mess. Becuase cost is a factor, can I buy plans instead of a kit for the XL-RG? Now as I said, I am a novice if there ever was one, but I do have a dream. I would like to ask the experienced people on this forum to bring to bear their considerable experince and tell me if it is at all feasible (I don't want to spend the next 10 years experimenting with this either). Any posting about this would be very much appreciated.
