Here's an interesting bit of information. As of 1 January 2008, there were two
Velocities registered to the RRL (N246RR and N216MR). Both were licensed as
Experimental Amateur-Built, and still are in that category today.

Looks like one of them (N216MR) might be a Velocity purchased from a previous
builder. The other was built by Velocity and lists a Lycoming, so it may be a
conversion as well.

But, obviously, the next question arises: Have these Experimental Amateur-Built
aircraft completed their 40 hours since major alterations (conversion to rocket
power)? With a fifteen-minute flight time per fuel load, that's 160 flights.
If you consider that even that many flights would constitute less than 15 hours
with the motor running.....

So...is RRL going to do a hurried transfer of these airplanes to some other
Experimental category, or is some of their time for flying off their
restrictions going to in front of 500,000 people at Oshkosh?

capt zoom will fly the 40hrs off in 4 one hour flights and call anyone a liar
and threaten to sue anyone who disputes his claims. LOL!!! Because as zoom once
told me if I wrote it I did it...

P.S. I notice zoomy wasn't mentioned as one of the pilots.
