Ciampa N127DH

Gary Ciampa N127DH, built by William Huisman. From Velocity Views:

"RECEIVED MY VELOCITY KIT , Fixed Gear 173 Elite December 22, 1994, one day before my Daughter was born. Started building January 1,1995 and first flight conducted at May 3, 1996. Total building time 2000 hours, excl. same amount of time spent at Home Depot and in Spruce Catalog. Building the Velocity was fun, I was able to put entire plane in my basement and built at home, so all free time could be spent building. My plane was the first Elite under construction, so some parts I had to wait for, and others I helped Sebastian develop. I had no previous experience building planes, but with common sense, my Makita Grinder and the help of Sebastian no major problems were encountered during process. Fitting the doors, building the tanks and intersection wings- Strakes were major time consumers. Also it is true that when your project looks like an airplane, and you think you are 50% done actually you are at 20%. Wiring, engine installation and upholstery takes at least as long as structural work." Factory Demo
