Longer (relative term) ground runs are the result of the Cirrus wing
design. It is optimized for cruise, not climb.


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).

Matt,

It is CS, but the speed is linked to the throttle position. Not something
I like, but a try at simplification. Mixture is normal, there should have
been a second lever as usual.

If you want acceleration on the ground, get a sports car ;-)

To tow the Cirrus to rotation speed?
