Good thing that Horton Stol

Been flying 14 years with a Horton Stol. In the air I can fly level at about 45 KIAS. I approach at normal speed, and flare at about 70 kts. The real benefit I find is in the margin of safety. I would comfortably fly in and out of a 2000 ft. strip (not at night). The Horton kit is far less expensive than R-stol and almost as effective, although I have no personal experience with the latter. mike z
