Hi Pete & Jonathan,
On the subject of tape measures, etc. There is a very useful feature on Google Earth http://www.google.com/earth/index.html
If one zooms in to any location, the tape at the bottom right hand corner provides Lat, Long and elevation to the nearest foot. If you use the "Tools" button at the top, there is a "Ruler" tool which permits you to measure plan view lengths to miles or inches if you choose. Both the elevation and plan lengths are very accurate and can be used to measure building sizes for example. It is very easy to do surveying from the comfort of your computer.
Cheers, John

Hi Pete,
Short of going out to the runway with tape measures and stopwatches,
our comparisons are likely to be rather subjective.
Twice in the last couple of months since fitting the new undercarriage, we
have experienced trying to take off on grass with half fuel, little/no
headwind and a pilot plus one "fat bastard" passenger. It wasn't fun!
So the real comparison will be made after fitting the new engine and
propeller blades and trying to take off again in similar circumstances.
I'll try to remember to let you know after completing the conversion, which
won't be for several months.
