Airventure 2018 is in the can. Our new partners Reiff and Steve flew the Fox to Airventure for the first time, relatively uneventfully (the airport was closed early, and then overrun with arrivals due to weather), and got a prime parking spot on “Velocity Row”, or as the EAA calls it “heavy homebuilt parking”. We’re in the top left of the Velocity’s, next to Subway. More pics to come soon!
Our beloved XL/FG is, as of August 1 2017, in the hands of a partnership of Velocity-loving folks in Dayton, OH. We will maintain a minority share and keep our hands in the Velocity community.
This site is all about what is great about this airplane, but here are the sales materials.
Fully loaded cross-country cruiser… she empties the FBO everywhere she visits… ask the factory, they know the build and flying qualities of this airplane. Cruise 175 kias (180-195 ktas) in style and comfort. 1,000 nm range and 5 hour’s endurance. Fly now for the price of the parts alone (see table below) and save yourself 5-8 years of building!

- Check out the model, if you’re not familiar with Velocity, at the factory website velocityaircraft.com.
This is a fast, clean, modern aircraft that will be nearly the fastest at your airport. Ask around, folks know this airplane, and check out the pictures below. She really cruises 170-180 kias, has on-board traffic, weather, moving map, WAAS GPS, EFIS and backup instruments, and tons of storage space. People will be shocked at how much stuff you brought with you. You’ll need to let your friends leave 10 minutes before you when flying to breakfast! 240 Hours on engine (since rebuild) and airframe.
