Hi All, We had a really good flyin at Mt Beauty about a week ago - despite the stormy weather we had 72 aircraft there. We held a STOL 'practice' session with 12 aircraft involved - Kitfox 4, Savannahs, Hornet Stol, Super Cubs, Aviat Huskey and Eurofox. One of the Savannah's achieved the shortest landing - 35meters! DA for the session was 3200ft and temp of about 29'c. Headwind component 8kts. The Kitfox put in a credible performance with take offs and landings at about 60-80meters. I didnt fly as I was running the event but dont think I could do better than 80 meters. A lot of fun and the crowd loved it. And next year Dave and Ben will have their lovely new KF7's there!!!
cheers
