I know of a few builders who would probably love to be buried in their

My CFI says the same thing. There are a bunch of homebuilts at the
airfield at which I am learning and he speaks very highly of the
general quality of them. *One of his planes shares a hanger with a
very nice Velocity RG (that happens to be for sale)

Saw one of those on final approach to Tacoma Narrows airport the other day..
Damn if'n they aren't pretty. Like watching Princess Leia coming down final

One of my computer consulting clients also owns a Velocity SE RG. He's
offered to take me up but our schedules haven't worked out for me to
go up yet. I'm trying to figure out how I could get to fly it given
the FAA regs on homebuilts.
