220' Take Off!

Just an FYI here this morning... 

Many people have written me about the takeoff performance of the Two Place Tandem over the summer. My standard answer has been 300 - 500'.  The real answer based on my Missionary Pilot friend's (Wolfgang) measurement is actually much shorter. On our last flight it was measured at 220'.  WOW! The aircraft was full of fuel, my 205#'s and Wolfgang at around 180#'s.  Things are truly getting better all the time!

More later!

Was that 220' with no wind?

GT450,

There was about a 5MPH wind when we made that takeoff.

Thanks for writing!
Jim
