Thanks Mike! That's excellent advice as well! However, the problem is there is ATC Tower here at KAEG (airspace D) although the length of two runways are not bad with 5900ft and 7300ft at 100ft wide each.... I did spent nearly two hours taxing today around the none controlled ground. The bird moves beautifully at various speeds and turns with about 20kt cross wind! I am very attempting to just take it off one of these days when I lost control of my mind....!
I believe the take off wouldn't be much of a problem at all with a good running engine and weight & balance checked out. The risky part of the first flight test is on landing, of course! The tailwheel configuration certainly adds to the most challenges on landing, right?!
