Default Question about being unpressurized at higher (Class A) altitudes

I don't know where you got the information that Velocity has a service

The Velocity won't go that high; according to the specs on their
website the RG Velocities top out about FL200. The Cozy based
Aerocanard will go to FL250, according to http://www.aerocad.com/Performance.htm.
While they could be completely full of it, I don't see too many people
trusting their life and paying over $30K for a homebuilt kit to a
company that lies about its planes' performance numbers.
