Cool! It looks like your entire State is one giant airport strip.

Very nice! I can zoom in on your air speed indicator. It looks like the label on the yoke says rotate 30 mph. Is that fast enough to get airborne or while continuing to gain speed?

The plane starts taking off at 30 but you need at least 50 or 55 to fly safe …

Not 13 knot wind.

Hey, what engine are you running on that 103?

[@aviation1036]

I have a hirth f23 with 39 hours on it :)

@@aviation1036 thanks for the reply! I was debating between the 33 and 23. What kind of climb performance are you seeing with that engine?
