I would think the VG's would make the elevator have more authority and thus
more sensitive than without though the only way to tell is to put them on and
try it.
As far as pitch sensitivity is concerned I don't think the KRs are sensitive at
all. I flew both Martin Roberts KR and Steve Alderman

Phillip,
My thought is that you need turnbucles but it doesn't matter where they are in
the system. Mine are near the rudder pedals which keeps the ends next to the
rudder as shackles.

Bob,
The FAA now has a petition in hand from AOPA and EAA to increase the scope of
driver's license in place of medical certificates to a flat 180 HP and fixed
gear. According to an FAA inspector that I spoke to at Sun N Fun he thought it
would go through after an economic impact study was done.
Congratulations Sid. Be careful and have a boat load of fun!
I'm ready to get back on mine so I can write the same email.

You are a very good pilot to have survived an out of CG condition of that much.
You will do just fine when the CG is correct. My suggestion is to machine some

Any metal skin means that you have to keep your antennas external to maintain a

Make a long drill that will go from the roof rib to the tip rib big enough to

I have about 500 hours in Cessna 421's and 414's as well as a lot of time in

I just removed the right aileron for final finishing and balance. It's getting
there. Unfortunately I have to head back to work tonight unexpectedly so it's

KR's are a small airplane and thus have a narrow CG range. However even if the
CG could be corrected having good egress in the event of an off airport landing
would be questionable, especially if it came to rest upside down. I personally
would not recommend it.

My velocity has a removable hatch over the canard that would otherwise leak.
Since it isn't removed often a thin line of silicone is put on it to seal it
each time. That solution would make a lot of sense with the turtle deck since
it would not be something that you would open very often.

My plans were lost during Hurricane Katrina but the plane is moving right
along. Can anyone tell me the size of the gap between the bottom of the aileron

After reading Mark Langfords post I must respectfully dissagree. The only heat
you will find on a Velocity is from the oil cooler. Given that the exhaust is
much hotter the real deal is that the air coming into the cabin is still about
the same, "hot". I have flown in well below zero temps at al
