Neat experience today.

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! :-) Matt

A cruise prop will produce a sluggish ground run on takeoff.

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

Matt,
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 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. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Matt,
but the acceleration was sluggish and that has nothing to do with the wing If you want acceleration on the ground, get a sports car ;-) -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
