Not true. When I flew it in the early days, derated to about 80 bhp, we 
were off the ground, up to 6 feet altitude !?!  back down again and stopped 
in about 600 meters. We had to, it was foggy. Mark was very keen to fly in 
the last century and it was 4 PM on 31 December 1999. That was a busy 
week  {?:-)
