Indeed it seems part of the velocity system uses push pull cables.

This thing has to be near 3100# with the rear seats and all the 1/4” steel brackets he has added.

No flight, no crash. Unfortunately I have to disagree. Having gone off the end of the runway during an aborted takeoff in Privett’s Mig 15 project, I can vouch for being able to crash without flying.

But salt water started eroding the sheath , i needed a new chain from the helm, so replaced cables too.

They finally got it to fly, but it's restricted to one passenger and maybe a bag with full fuel for weight. It needs a set of Garrett's or P&W's on it. This may end up in the same boat.

Is this real? I keep seeing these steel brackets comments. Maybe a silly question, but why is this not done in aluminum?
