So builders often wonder will their plane live up to the hype? Will it land slow like the we believed when we bought the plans or the kit?
Well YES IT CAN!
So here is some landing data via video from some late Phase 1 testing and post Phase 1 testing.
Just to note, takeoffs are typically 400-550’. My longest takeoff was 800’ when I had 55 gallons of fuel and 150 pounds of weight in the right seat for forward CG testing. I am not messing with fancy methods, just Flaps 2 and fly it off the runway. No short field techniques. These are real world numbers all in MPH, and my field elevation is 5637’ AGL. The data is from my Dynon panel uploaded to flysto.net Landings are all with Flaps 3 at this point.
This was a landing testing aft CG with about 100 pounds in the cargo area
Here is the full aft weight landing
Both of the above videos are created by flysto using google earth imagery
Here is a post Phase 1 flight landing very heavy at 1,939 pounds
That video was from a camera mounted on a flexible arm. I uploaded the video to flysto and somehow the website software syncs the video to the flight data.
So hopefully that is some motivation to keep you going!
I am using Hall Brothers VG’s that seem to have some magic sauce as I am getting some pretty slow speeds.
I will continue to post flights here as time goes on.
Enjoy
