On my first flight landing I managed to use most of the paved 4200 foot
runway at K2W6 and bend the nose strut; approach to fast. Second flight
landing ran off the right side due to failed left brake. Third flight
landing ran off the end of the runway; touched down long. Fourth flight
landing stalled on the runway and ran off left side; damaged the left wheel
brake bleeder valve scrapping on the edge of the pavement.
Yes, stuff happens and when it does, extra runway length and width can most
certainly help. Judicious use of flaps or belly board also helps on these
slippery little airplanes.
Hopefully, your results may vary.

Hi,
I am in the stage to look for an airport.
My original plan was to go for an big asphalt runway airfield for the test
period, when everything is oke and the first flights are don to move to a
smaller a grass airport.
Now I am busy to arrange a hanger space but the prices are that high, I
can't afford this luxury.
What do you think to do the test fase on a grass strip? The dimensions are
1000x30 meter.
Anyone experience?
