Veloce 400 Walk Around Video
IO-540 on 400 plane
IO-540 on 400 plane 2
Here is the Veloce 400 flying with an IO-540 – does 170 kts at 55%.
you can put a turbo IO-540 engine on – and get over 200 KTS.
Veloce 400 Update. You wanted to see how well she flies, watch this video. It is a Gen 2 - but Gen 2 has the same flight controls and surfaces, so she flies just like Gen 3, but from center stick (and that is an option on Veloce 400)
Your Choices
We recommend this install package if you want certified IFR
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/577174 – certified GPS and ADBS in and out with weather
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/512307/pn/010-01471-01 – radio with comms
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/140494 – back up radio
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/600047/pn/010-01946-00 – auto pilot head, https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/607047 – auto pilot – for 2 servos.
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/107443 – engine indication
https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/166058 – 2 displays
If you don’t want Certified IFR – you can drop the $8k GNS 375 – and simply get ADBS for $1-3k (depends if you want in/out or just out)
If you don’t want back up radio – can drop $1k
If you don’t want two AHRS/display – can drop $4k for one display.
If you want any other avionics package, you can sure get that.
Dynon, GRT, MGL, Avidyne, or any other.
Interiors, we offer leather interior standard – one color.
If you want 2 colors or colored stitching or carbon fiber panel, or something like that will be additional.
Paint scheme – we offer 1 full color base with some basic colored striping (vinyl or paint)
If you want extra, will be extra depending on amount of complexity.
Choices of Engines
We recommend AV Engines – as price to HP to quality – nothing beats them in our opinion Aerovolare.com
But you can do any engine you want.
