After eyeing this gravel bar for a couple of years a friend and I decided it was worth a try. We both did an inspection pass, then my wingman did a touch and go to check the surface for solid. We then did another inspection pass to see how deep the tires cut into the surface. Finallaly Adrian did the landing first. His take off is very short and his stall speed is under 27 mph. Once he was down he assured me there was lots of room for my Model IV with the 912UL. Maybe I was little over cautious but for my first river bar landing why not. Attached is a video of a take off and landing and as you can see there is so much room it looks like a DC3 could take off and land.
