Thanks Jonathan
So sounds like you have gone trigear? The conditions (and passenger!) you
describe are exactly when my mono feels under powered. Mostly from my home
strip I am solo so it is not a problem.
In all cases as soon as the gear/flaps are in there is a really good rate of
climb.

Hi Pete,
Short of going out to the runway with tape measures and stopwatches,
our comparisons are likely to be rather subjective.
Twice in the last couple of months since fitting the new undercarriage, we
have experienced trying to take off on grass with half fuel, little/no
headwind and a pilot plus one "fat bastard" passenger. It wasn't fun!
So the real comparison will be made after fitting the new engine and
propeller blades and trying to take off again in similar circumstances.
I'll try to remember to let you know after completing the conversion, which
won't be for several months.
