Hopefully this will work..
Here is may take on the 701/801 flying habits.
A slatted wing will behave predictably till you hit the critical angle of attack.
Then the slats start to 'breath' and funnel air over the top surface of the wing. At that
point the plane gets twitchy and wants to fly at an accellerated rate and pitch movements
through the controls will be laser precise. If you over correct and get the plane leveled
off too quickly the reverse happens and the wing quits flying and the nose will drop.
This all happens in a very narrow speed range which just happens to present itself when
fast taxiing at just under flying speed. The 701/801 design is different then in any
other plane in that at rotation it either wants to jump in the air with a positive rate
of climb or linger at a wings level attitude if you don't rotate properly. It is not
dangerous,,,,,, just real different then any other plane you will ever fly.
Just my humble opinion after flying my 801 for 400 hours...... I LOVE my 801

Dan--very well said and congratulations!!!! I believe you experienced what
we were tring to put in writing.
my opinion only--- practice what you have been doing----- than get some
altitude on that first flight----
"altitude is insurance"
You said: "I wasn't up for doing rabbit hops down the runway as I believe
in stabilized approach criteria."
I agree with you 100%, some folks will disagree.
Fritz ----- do not archive
