It looks like the flaps are retracted so I ssume the slats are fixed.

STOL?

skytrain10 29th Jun 2012 09:34

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

Lightning Mate 29th Jun 2012 10:54


......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.

Lightning Mate 29th Jun 2012 12:24

I've been looking around Europe.

Am I warm with France?

skytrain10 29th Jun 2012 13:07


Am I warm with France?
Boiling mate...it is French:ok:

Noyade 29th Jun 2012 13:39


Smartass strikes again!!
Well, I was trying to help you out mate. See, I even made it open house - (if it is). :)

Lightning Mate 29th Jun 2012 13:41

Paint dry yet?

Whilst we wait, Google Mercedes SLS convertible AMG - yesterday was fun. :)

Noyade 29th Jun 2012 13:46

Yep she's done mate. :ok: Moving the furniture back in tomorrow. What was the best thing at that Goodwood Festival you were at yesterday?

Lightning Mate 29th Jun 2012 13:51

The car above plus the Audi R8. Both were doing well over 100 from the paddock to the first corner - 300 yards!!!!
