    Aircraft Spruce - FAILURE in customer service

    I've made probably 100+ orders to them over the course of my Velocity build. Never had an issue. Most other websites that sell airplane stuff have ZERO up-to-date "in stock" or "out of stock" indications when you order.

    Experimental Pilots - How do you insure your plane for a reasonable rate?

    I've heard chatter recently that the jets seized by the Russians as part of the Ukraine war will be counted as insurance losses totaling over 10 billion. This will likely involve huge rate spikes across all aspects of aviation for 2023 quotes.

    Velocity

    Yeah, it tends to take up some room. However, if you get a newer Velocity kit, they offer a "cut down keel" meaning it doesn't take as much room.
