Jose,
good to hear from you. hope your flying is good in Costa Rica. I am envious looking at some of the country you are flying in, looks very cool. Glad you are staying light, I am heavier empty weight due to Katmai conversion, and bigger tires all around, which helps me with better ground clearance with 29" mains and heavy duty nose, probably adds an extra 100 lbs., plus autopilot and some other stuff that adds some weight too. Even though the Peterson conversion is really good with short take off and landing, I still have to really watch it when hot temps and heavy load in short strips at high elevation/density altitude issues.

Jones the Katmai is on my someday list, I bet is a lot of fun to fly.
I have spoken to Todd about. Oming to Costa Rica to convert mine and we might do it.
What is your approach speed to a short runway?
Yours also has wing extensions? That is the only thing that might not work too well in Costa Rica, many narrow runways with trees on both sides.

Jose,
approach 55 to 60 kts, 20 degrees flaps, flare 35 to 40 kts. Only thing I worry about with the extra 3 feet of wings is not being able to use a 40 ft. hangar!
