Guys flying the sport wing:
Can you describe the short field performance, primarily landing, over a 50ft obstacle..
PS..I have already talked to Smokey, as we have similar grass fields, just gathering additional information.. speeds/power/techniques
interested in both solo at around 1700ish with fwd CG, and dual near MGW..
I live on a grass field with trees at both ends.. 2000 ft cutout, 1400ft runway 600ft elev. so every landing in every plane is a chop and drop to a 300ft displaced threshold. I have not had an RV type aircraft in there yet.. any takers? II28 indiana?
data point: A stock 172 gets in fine, and out with a soft/short 10 deg flap for t/o, and 30deg for landing.. a 150 will just barely and I mean barely get out (been done once
I took my first rocket ride recently.. its the only plane I have ever flown that gives me the feeling of sitting in the F-16 again.
thank you rocket drivers... dave
