This channel is dedicated to the amazing Velocity Aircraft to include performance, flight vlogs, transformations, maintenance, building and the joy of owning and flying Velocities.
Cirrus SR20 Lake Anna Cruise
Me and Ariel decided to ride with Hunter in the SR20 Carbon from JYO to Lake Anna and back.

1400NM VELO FLIGHT 2023 - Velocity Aircraft
มุมมอง 28Kปีที่แล้ว
This video is a documentary of my 1400km solo reposition flight of my Standard Velocity Aircraft from Arizona to Virginia with only one stop. 07/02/2023 I have sadly, recently sold the airplane. I love the plane, but have decided to step back from general aviation for a while as I have transitioned to international flying with my airline and have lost the desire to find time to fly places on my...
More videos man!!!
Great video
More videos please
I like the ability to see ALL of the different Temperatures!!!
i think this is the most exhiting airplane design...it needs to be liftet up to latest tecnology....and get a shorter takeoff-landings and grasfield landing..what you want then more, ?
Tip for decent ? Slow down to gear speed level at altitude. Drop the gear and come on down.
He sold the airplane, everyone.
Very nice. Thank you.
On my way to purchase one f these. I’m Michigan based. Great content.
sold it so quick, not the first airline pilot to lose interest in recreational flying. The irony. In fairness, I'm a pro pilot too and just sold my Arrow, but it was for different reasons (I got fed up with the market inflation, and certified airplane rules). the hobby is not doing well.
Nice! Consider a parachute.
4:50 25 miles to the gallon. Better milage than my car. I Want one!
Waiting for more videos Bro 👍🏻 excellent excellent footage Loving it 🛫🛫🛫👮🏻♂️👮🏻♂️👮🏻♂️👮🏻♂️
21.79 mpg? Most current autos can't get that mileage! Where can I get one of these?
Brother 🙌🏻 this is my favorite aircraft as well.. the Cozy, long EZ, and of course Velocity SE and XL!! hope you share more 🌛ty 🛬🛩️🏆
The pusher configuration really gives it an unusual exhaust night.
was it cold cause engine in back
This is what Xc flying is all about ... a plane with long legs ..speed and a joy to fly!! on my bucket list to get .....Thanks for sharing!!!
How much was it?
How awesome. I'm pretty close to El Paso. Wish I could have seen a velocity fly over!
Cool video, thanks!
I've heard the velocity is a challenge to fly, I'm currently looking to pick one up.

Hey. Since you sold the plane so fast, i'm Wondering if you could share anything that you didn't like about the velocity?
You are living my dream flying a Velocity! Thank for sharing.
I am nearing the end of a two year effort to get a factory built Velocity XL RG. Its built now, but not test flown and paint/interior work still remains. It has the Continental TSIO 550 C, 310hp fuel injected with a 4-blade scimitar MT-propeller. It has an all glass Garmin G3x panel with a Garmin GTN750 Nav Panel. My last plane was a Cirrus Sr22T and I spent a couple of years making videos in it. Now I want to do the same and even more in the Velocity. Glad to see a channel dedicated to the Velocity and a good number of subscribers already here. I would like to contribute to your channel when the time comes, if possible.
Brother as a Velocity SE XL fan... congratulations 👏🏻 I'm jealous 😂 All the best 🏆🛬🛩️
what was the final cost for the build if you dont mind me asking? are there any obsticals that a potential buyer of one be aware of ? ive been looking at these for a couple years
@@jamesgamerguy3 The final cost will be a little over $530k which includes a full week transition training by the factory trainer and factory familiarization with the build. Everything is higher end, including the 94 gallon fuel capacity, dual sticks, built-in Mountain High oxygen on-demand system, door seals, Continental TSIO-550-C twin turbo, built-in Tanis engine heater, AoA meter, twin pitot, custom interior with bucket seats, color matching, professional paint scheme, twin Garmin G3x 10 inch panels with a Garmin GTN750 nav panel. Solid state breakers, professional test pilot.
@@speedomars that’s honestly a very good price for a new 2023 turbocharged airplane. A cirrus or diamond would be slower and go for over twice that with less fuel capacity and older garmin panels.
@@jamesgamerguy3 Yes, I know. I bought a new Cirrus SR22T in 2016 for $840k loaded and flew it for 6 years and sold it for $800k a little over two years ago in order to switch to this Velocity. Today you can't touch an SR22T new for less than $1.1m and wait two years to get one. I have waited 2 years for this Velocity so far. But it will be twice the plane for half the price. The SR22T cruised at 170kts at 75% power, this plane will cruise at 220+ ktas at 75% and even faster at altitude. It will also have the latest Garmin tech which includes Smart Glide and a far faster panel than my old Cirrus. And of course will be cheaper to get the annuals done. The engine in the Cirrus was the same one, K version instead of the C version of the TSIO550 so the gas mileage will be similar, but the Velocity is more drag efficient, and the oxygen system will be more convenient since its an on-demand version so the oxygen fills will last far longer. Any Cirrus owner should seriously consider getting a Velocity, they are similar in terms of high performance but the Velocity costs far less to get and maintain.
Where would you put the 12 inch tail number req for international flying?
Did you notice on the map.. Just north east of M17 is marked (Half-Way).. I found that as I was doing a flight plan...
Awesome documenting, I have a love hate with these planes. My best friend has one and just remember, "it goes through the prop" whatever rocks, FOD, loose screws whatever will hit the prop. Something recently hit the front tire, hit the prop, and flew through the rudder after it went off the prop blade. (roast on the crazy physics to go from prop to rudder) I love the efficiency and look of these aircraft but it seems like i'm learning pusher props have a unique set of issues.
I like the idea of NOT staring through the Propeller, I also like the sound behind me and it is safer with the Propeller being protected by those wings less chance of someone walking into the Propeller !
Keep making more content about the velocity.
Drop metric ànd Celsius.
Nice video. Just wondering, since you're not the original builder, does that mean that you can't maintain it yourself?
You can maintain it, but you cannot sign off on the annual condition inspection. Either the original builder or an A&P must do that. Unlike for certified aircraft, the A&P does not need to be an IA in order to sign off on the condition inspection.
Why are you selling the plane?
I am also curious, but I would love to take it off your hands
Great job!
Looking forward to more videos!
Maryland neighbor here. Love the velocity. Their 6 seater and xl version as well as twin are exciting. Glad to find a ongoing velocity channel.
We are both new owners of the fast wing SE RG Velocity. It's going to be an amazing year getting to know our aircraft. Canard's are smooth and sexy... IFLYBIGSKY
Awesome Velocity content, please keep sharing!
YES!! You’re awesome brother. Excited to see what this channel will become! 💪
A speedy machine for sure. Keeping the cabin of a Velocity is a challenge. I recommend seat heaters if you reupholster. They make a world of difference in my RV8A.
Keeping the cabin warm ….
And what’s about Aircon?
@TimToussaint Just crack a window 🤏 👍
Great! - Bill N80UF

Sick video AIRon
Looks like a great trip
