Yes! much more fun landing shortfield, dirt even better.
Here in the Lowvelt the climb was 600 fpm, 55mph, at MTOW (600kg) on the test flight. OAT was 35C though so far from ISA. DA was about 3300ft.
I have not properly plotted VX and VY yet. Expecting to get all the data logged by early next week then ATF!
Expecting about 400 fpm at that weight on the Highvelt on an average day.

Sure!
Not sure what Stefan will bring, the Jab-Safari will probably go to the customer within a week or so :cry:
Maybe the old faithful FEJ.
