 |
|
In a recent issue of Zenair, Chris H. discussed the 701's performance
with and without the slats. Without the slats, much of the STOL
characteristics were absent, but the landing and takeoff angles of
approach appear to be more "normal". Can anyone give me some specific
performance figures and handling without slats? I am particularly
interested in the minimum length of runway required for takeoff and
landing for a pilot of average skills. I am in the process of planning
a grass strip on my 34 country acres, and this information will be
muchly appreciated. I can get a 1000' strip. Takeoff will be with the
wind and slightly downhill. Landings will be into the wind and slightly
uphill. Thank you in advance. Robert Schoenberger 701 - probably 80 hp
912.

You will be able to land and take of in shorter distances with the slats.
will it take more skill, absolutely. With slats when you flare you will be DONE flying. With out slats and VGs installed you will get some float, much easier to land. I don't see much difference in the take off distance though.
