Steve; best wishes for a favorable outcome on the possible move to a fly-in community.Every pilot's dream! Soon after we moved to Oregon in the early 1990sI became aware of a nice fly-in community up the highway from me, IndependenceAirpark up near Salem. That's where I met Ernie Moreno, and it was in Ernie'shangar that I first got to see and sit in a Piet. I've always wanted to liveon an airpark but my wife likes trees in the yard. Maybe not a good matchwith an airpark, sort of like Kenny's open cockpits and big... big... well, bigtwin prop spinners.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 power, 72x36 Culver propRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Steve;Considering that 8T8 has a 3000' hard-surface runway and that I was easily ableto operate 41CC off of about half of that, you should have no problem operatingyour Air Camper "hybrid" off of 3000' of grass! In fact, as you know, Craigand I were easily able to operate 41CC off of the grass between the fence onthe north side of the San Geronimo property and the EAA clubhouse. If GoogleEarth's ruler tool is to be believed, that's less than 800 ft and that's withhaving to clear the trees along the fenceline on final. I used to approach atabout 55 MPH over the trees, kick it into a slip till I could count the bladesof dry grass individually, then kick out the slip till the nose was pointingbetween the paved runway and the clubhouse, then 'shhhhh' it onto the grass.Rollout back onto the paved surface with power, taxi to our hangar. I coulddo it in my sleep, almost (with NO crosswind!). With a crosswind, every timethe plane would get abeam the clear space between a long row of hangars, it wastime to dance on the rudder pedals again! What great memories, and I hopeyou are able to make many such new memories at your new home base.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 power, 72x36 Culver propRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
