General Information
Congratulations on selecting the Veloce 400 as your personal aircraft build kit. If
you've built any other composite aircraft before, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the
simplicity and ease with which this project will progress. If this is your first build on a
project, please pay particular attention to all phases of instruction and you will also be
guided to a satisfactory completion of this excellent aircraft. The theme under the entire
project development line is focused on the simplicity in the construction and operation of
the complete aircraft. This manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions for
assembling the Veloce 400 aircraft kit. However, the basic instructions in each section
assume a certain degree of familiarity and experience in building with composite material.
The introductory chapters will define several terms and provide detailed assistance on
many of the repeated operations, but if you do not have any experience, it is recommended
to look at other reference texts and possibly some test projects with composite
construction. Working with some practice in using composite material is strongly
recommended.
If during construction you have any questions or concerns about the construction
procedure, do not continue until you obtain the required information or skill to complete
the procedure correctly. If you are not knowledgeable about fiberglass construction
techniques, please consult some of the referenced sources for such knowledge before
starting construction. It is also important to have someone with previous experience help
you and provide training in these procedures. Changes to the aircraft design or specified
construction procedures must not be made without the prior approval of VOLATO.
Unauthorized changes can create hazardous conditions impacting aircraft safety and/or
structural integrity. Failure to comply with these warnings and/or other instructions and
precautions contained in the manual coan result in an unsafe aircraft with the potential for
increased injury or possible fatality.
