July 13, 201312 yr Commercial Member Well my first flight in the KA200 (Concrete Municipal to Darrington Field) went fairly well until it was time to extend the flaps. Unfortunately I was on final to Darrington field with an approach speed of 130 kts to a rather short strip (of course the proper thing to do was go to a larger field with a longer runway). During post walk around it is evident that the tires and brakes got some wear....I now need to find a contract mechanic to look at my flaps and see how long it will take before leaving.Tower view at Concrete:Spectator Views:Climbing out of Concrete headed to DarringtonNo Flaps:Finally Stopped: KROSWYND a.k.a KILO_WHISKEYMajestic Software Development/Support Sys 1: AMD 7950X3D, NOCTUA D15S, Gigabyte Elite B650, MSI 4090, 64Gb Ram, Corsair 850 Power Supply, 2x2TB M.2 Samsung 980s, 1x4TB WDD M.2, 6xNoctua 120mm case fans, LG C2 55" OLED running at 120Hz for the monitor, Win11.

July 14, 201312 yr Nice indeed. I'll be getting mine in a week or two. Now, about those tires, I can get 'em for you wholesale :-) Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
July 14, 201312 yr So things break on this like A2As airplanes? Very nice photos though. Besides, of you don't use all the runway, you are wasting it. Sent from my Apple communications device. William Sequeira
July 14, 201312 yr Author Commercial Member Thanks for the comments - those daises look like orbx creation You are correct....both sceneries are from ORBX So things break on this like A2As airplanes?Very nice photos though. Besides, of you don't use all the runway, you are wasting it. Yes things do break at the choice of the user. Using all runway is not necessarilly an option unless you have an emergency that requires more than normal landing. At least that is they way we professionals prefer to view it. Not much of a choice at Darrington as there is only one exit which sits at the end of both runways. Nice indeed. I'll be getting mine in a week or two. Now, about those tires, I can get 'em for you wholesale :-) If I execute several more landing of this nature i may have to take you up on that offer.

July 14, 201312 yr Oh I know. I was just joking. Though I didn't know that there was only one exit on that particular runway. I might have to check that out. How long is that runway anyways? Sent from my Apple communications device. William Sequeira
