Velocity Aircraft
Clearly the Velocity is at the top of the list of places that can help you get your plane built, from Head Start to completion - they can help.

What better way is there to accelerate the early construction phase of a Velocity kit building project than by working in a fully equipped hangar, with access to professional assistance when needed? The Velocity Service Center Head Start Program is designed to provide first time Velocity kit builders the opportunity to work on-site with their airplane project prior to kit shipment to their own home base. The long-term advantages of participating in the Head Start program are amazing. Not only does it allow the builder to focus on the project without many of the usual distractions, it also allows him or her to get organized, to learn from experienced building assistants, and to develop good working habits from the start.

Scott Baker's outfit. I really like Scott, who started at Velocity West and later was at the factory in Sebastian for many years. He runs his own assistance company from Sebastian these days.
