Your Wiki host sports a fixed gear XL powered by a high-compression-IO540.

I wrote a piece for the fourth quarter 2002 Velocity Views, so check it out if you have a minute.

N44VF was damaged in an off-airport landing in Otsico, Indiana while en route to the CSA Rough River Canard Fly-in at Rough River State Park outside of Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday September 27th, 2008. Read about it here and see some pictures below.

As of late May 2010 we're back in the air. Check out our pictures below, and our second first flight videos are on YouTube (coming here soon). My recording rig is:

Onboard video - ContourHD
Onboard Audio - Olympus DS30 with aircraft interface
ground camera - Crappy Sony DCR-DVD300 (new HD camera ordered)

APRS Tracker - Byonics MicroTrak300

As of late September 2010, we've finished our exterior finish work, having installed our Graphics vinyl , and hopefully will get an interior over the winter.

You can see where 44 Victor Fox is currently (or track our last flight) via APRS at aprs.velocityxl.com. You can also see our videos at Velocity_Videos#Ferrell_N44VF.
