A picture is worth a thousand words, so below are a couple pictures.
First picture is my Kolbs runway without VG's, Second is my Kolbs runway with VG's. Any questions

So if you put on VG's you can't get the Kolb lined up with the runway?

If you need that long of a runway for your kolb you need a whole lot more
than just VGs.
I sill would like to see a objective comparison between the same airplane
with VGs and without.

Holy large runways Batman! Thanks for the chuckle.
Here is a picture taken just before launch from my brother's place. His house and trees are behind me, so it is one way in and out. Made aprox. 10 landings over two days visit last July. Field elevation is 4100'. I had to use my new brakes once on day two with a tailwind.
Oh. I almost forgot to mention that I don't have VG's

I was hoping someone would see the humor in that When I saw how that picture turned out, I just had to post it. At 11,200 feet long, even the newbies I often let fly can hit it most of the time...
That does look short ! Do you go over, or turn away from the power lines ? The cows in the next field look like interesting targets Do they run or just ignore you as you fly over ?
