Default Navion in flames.

The ground roll with the Gopher engine was 850', 1100 for the 50'

I operate off a 3000' grass, and I'm certainly off by midfield
with the current engine.


That seems a little long. You can't get that thing off the ground in
about 600 feet with the 550?



The thing has huge squishy 7.00x8 tires in addition to big oleos on the
mains. It was designed for unimproved strips.


Just like mine.
