Sonex web page says 2,500 foot landing distance.

Probably less, in the picture above....

might be a viable option if the turnaround time wasn't so long.....

Ouch!!

i've never flown a retractable, but why us it that that one little switch causes so many problems?

My Garmin 696 alerts me of "Five Hundred" at every landing.
If I had a retractible I'd want it to say "Check Gear" at 700 feet!
it is amazing that the feature isn't on every retractable today.
