Tony,
Numbers are on pavement. My landings on grass are shorter, more friction from the grass. It also takes more runway to take off from the grass as well, same issue with friction. Distance is from wheel touch down. I fly out of a 4000 ft airport normally so I do not get challenged very often. I did go to a pancake breakfast about a month ago with a 2000 foot runway. Not a big deal, just needed to make sure I was not hot and high.

Is your landing distance from when the wheels touch the ground, from 50ft or some other height?

Rotate at 60 mph, level out in ground effect till I reach 80 mph and then climb out. Hot days with 2 people it is going to be 1000 plus. Landing is about 1500 realistically. I have landed on 2000 ft runways. I bet if I had a belly board and better brakes I could get her down to 1000 ft. One benefit of trigear is you can land her and stand on the brakes to slow you down without ruining a propeller. My stall is +-50 mph, but I certainly don't push my approach speed to less than 70.

But in fairness, we have to remember Ken's KR only weighed 480 pounds. Most of ours come in 50% or more heavier than that. I shot some awesome video yesterday in the KR. Now if I can figure how to get it on youtube. Larry Flesner _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
