580 feet enough for a runway?

Cool. Thanks.

Here are a couple links showing landing a Model IV-1200 on a "600" ft runway @ 3200' altitude. There is actually 900' here, but restricted by a e-fence in these videos. The telephone poles on the left are at 300 ft spacing. As you can see, there are plenty of obstacles, including a power line on the approach. I'm not proud of these landings and don't consider either "spot" on, in fact there is considerable floating in the second. I was just playing with a new camera.

I've been landing this bird here for 20 years in all kinds of conditions. At least for a Model IV, 580 unobstructed RWY length should be plenty.
