🛩️ I made it! Took off at #EDPW with officially 346m of grass #runway! 🛫 I always hesitated and cancelled that visit in my former #Katana #DV20 years, but with #Sperling and its #STOL capabilities I could finally go for it! 🥳 No wind, ~680kg and 27°C. 🌤️ That feeling racing towards that crop field and passing the point of no return just for the sake of some scribbled calculations is so thrilling! I love it! I'm alive! 🤘 #AvGeek #aviation #PilotsLife #SF23 #PPL #taildragger #Spornrad #PlanePacking

Clipped airport description chart, showing a north to south runway with 346 x 40 meters. Not in screenshot: field elevation of 577 m (1.892 ft)Excerpt from actual manual of aircraft. A table telling me that 240m is the take off run for a field with 500m elevation and the aircraft loaded with 660kg overall weight. It's for standard temperature at 15°C so I have to add like 1% for every degree until 27°C actual temperature.Screenshot of Google satellite view and a measurement showing about 400m when using the strips of grass between runway and road and the field

🛩️ #Sperling dropped by at #Skydive "Colobri". I bought a new slider keeper at #MindFly rigging and am looking forward to do a #jump from the #Porter here. Really nice mood at this place. Fingers crossed for my take-off later... #avgeek #aviation #SF23 #PC6 #EDPW #taildragger #Spornrad
