Looking at the Zenith designs with the up sloping tail..You can rotate the nose pretty darn high using Aerodynamic braking, wing acting like a big Flap... Slow Take Off & Landing (England) Short Take Off & Landing (USA/Canada) Tim

I call 600 ft take-off distance STOL, and that's what a Europa Motor Glider will do. -dave Mark wrote: > Well not all of them...

When used as a tow plane or when not loaded with chemicals, the Air Tractor is very STOL. http://www.airtractor.com/at-401b Dave Arbogast, CISSP wrote: > I call 600 ft take-off distance STOL, and that's what a Europa Motor > Glider will do. > > -dave > > Mark wrote: > >> Well not all of them...

A couple examples of non high wing STOL, Grumman OV-1 Mohawk is mid wing and Socata Rallye is low wing but generally speaking most are highwing. In a message dated 11/18/2008 8:51:30 P.M.

At the risk if thinking it is Friday, is someone building a STOL capable KR? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2008 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R.

I always find that alleged "visibility" advantage of high-wing aircraft very funny. When I got my licence in South Africa, I had a choice of training on a Cessna 172 or on a Diamond Katana. After an introductory flight on both, that was a no brainer. I wanted to enjoy the view, which is panoramic in a Katana, and severely restricted in a C172. Actually, in a C172, the only time you get decent FORWARD visibility is with full flaps! It became clearer as I started flying in more countries that this debate is actually very specific to the US and US-supplied countries, and probably emerging from the Cessna vs Piper debate. Mind you, none of these two aircraft has been designed with visibility in mind, and this is true of all major US designs of the same era, Mooneys, Beech and the like. Step in anything made in Italy, Austria, Germany or France, and you will realize that one can design an aircraft where the instrument panel does not obscure the view, so you don't really have to make turns in a climb to avoid mid air collisions; and you can actually have low wings that are not so much ahead of you that they impair your down vision. For that matter, I found my KR2 to have pretty good side visibility, and I now fly a Zenith CH-300 which is even better in that regard. Serge Vidal Melbourne, Australia < Visibility is also a factor.
