Dave Dent N32XL XL/RG
An old Velocity views article indicates that this airplane came to the US from Australia, where it was VH-XLV.
My name is Dave Dent. My story was in the last Velocity Views. I bought Leon Howe's XL/RG from Australia. I have been flying it for awhile now and I would like to start participating with those that have been flying these beautiful birds for some time. I have encountered a number of problems I have worked through and now have encountered the bad landing characteristic problems. I called John and Mary Wright last night and had a wonderful time talking to them. They suggested that I write you and see if I could join the Reflector. My back ground is 45 years in aviation. Com.Pilot,Inst.ME and A/P-IA. Started flying in 1963 and have just over 4000 something hours. I have over 1400 hours flying canard type planes. I worked with NASA from 1993 to 2000 dealing with remote piloted high altitude aircraft design and testing out of Edwards AFB. Built a number of planes and test flown a few as well. We have two other planes as well. That is my partner and I, A long EZ with just under 1400 hrs and a Cozy IV with right round 350hrs. Both are now up for sale because of the purchase of the Velocity. I have been flying the EZ around to different places to put adds up and show and tell and rides trying to sell it. Right now there are a few interested in it. But no money. Hope to sell them this summer. I will be bringing my Velocity N32XL to Marysville on the 18th and show it with the others. The one big thing I would like to find out is what has been other then the vortex generators and fences to relieve the slow speed landing problem? I can't remember ever flying a plane that was so hard to put down on the ground, when it flys so great in the air. I have the nose gear problem solved. But there is more work needed there. It isn't over yet. Your consideration in letting me join would be greatly appreciated. Dave Dent
