Dale,


Depends on the mod. The WingX extensions are well worth the money. We
saw about a 20-30% decrease in ground roll on takeoff along with
a100-200fpm gain in climb.


Not familiar with that mod, but if it adds length to the wing and
changes the aspect ratio, everything should be positive, although it
makes it tough to fit in a hangar, I suppose.

STOL modified airplanes can be fun when landing at light weights in
gusty winds. G


No kidding. You have to be willing to put the ailerons to the stop,
or just land across the runway g.

All the best,
Rick

Does anybody know what are the takeoff and landing rolls (fully loaded) on a
soft field for a normally aspired STOL conversion-equipped 206 (any popular
conversion)?


Thanks

Book values or actual values with pilot technique.

In my normally aspirated, non-conversioned, stock C206F, I am
successful in a touchdown to stop in 450 feet. I have a 500 foot
paved runway to practice on, with 2000 foot over-runs on both
ends. :-) I practice before I go to Idaho. :-)
