Reiff Lorenz
Reiff Lorenz bought a Velocity XL-RG kit in 2011, but he actually started the project in 2009 and spent just $52 in the first two years (reserving a registration number and subscribing to KITPLANES®). His wife, Melissa, spends weekends cutting fiberglass and dreaming of vacations in Florida with her three dogs. He would love to hear about the inexpensive ways you’ve found to start your project or accelerate your progress.
