Ty for that.

They are almost a vintage version of an RV. 0320's would be cruising at silly knots! Steve Wittman was an utter genius making the whole aeroplane produce lift (fuselage included); just have to be aware of the higher wing loading in the circuit when making slower turns.

Have my eye on one with a smaller engine; basically I am trying to see owners's opinions on how runway hungry they are for T/O.
