    Default STAL distance?

    If a Zenith 750 take-off in 50', wath could be the distance of a take-off of a Kitfox 7 with a Viking engine that pull 500lb of trust...200'?

    I know there is a big difference between the two plane, but what is you prediction!

    Eric, I have the 912S up front. Sometimes on takeoff I think I should be talking to Mission Control
