STOL?

Yes, fixed slats. Not referred to as STOL but the take-off distance is around 700 ft.

......take-off distance is around....
IS - I can't believe it's still in production, but surely it's not classified as a kit job.

I used the term "is" as the aircraft is still in existance. Not a kit, but a one off that never went in to production

David, looks like you're the only one around today. To help you a long, European design, first flew in 1961.

Must be open house if it is Ken.
