Longer (relative term) ground runs are the result of the Cirrus wing

I'm sure that is true as well, but the acceleration was sluggish and
that has nothing to do with the wing ... well, other than the weight of
the wing! :-)


Is the SR-20 fixed or constant speed prop? A cruise prop will produce a
sluggish ground run on takeoff.

He said it was constant speed, but you wouldn't know it flying it as it
has just the throttle lever. No prop control, no mixture control (at
least I didn't see a traditional mixture control).
