How much longer can you make the strip if you go diagonally through the field? My strip was 1500' long and it was located on 1320 x 850' of land. I have since bought 3 acers from the neighbor, and it's now 2000'. Longer is better. JImChuk
I will have long fields to practice in but here at home to change the angle would put me going over a house for takeoff or landing. I land my archer on a 1600 grass runway sometimes with no problem so I'm hoping 1000 will be plenty for a kitfox after I'm used to it. I do agree longer is better when landing.spring garden.jpg The pic is a larger view of the area around me.

build a taxiway and use the road to the west as a N/S runway on the upwind side of the trees... hehe
