| December
1, 2004 Randy Wharton's
Velocity XL-RG
Randy is a new member this year (welcome to Chapter 582!) and is working on the
fuselage of his Velocity kit. He built his wings at Velocity's builders
assistance center and said that was a great two weeks.
See Randy's website for
tons of pictures. |
Here are some pictures I took at the Builders Meeting.
He has his wings in the Living room! I don't know how many times I heard someone
say "Does your wife have a sister" I think all us "Plane Nuts" want to share our
living space with airplane parts!

Full details can be found on the
Velocity web site.
