Thanks for the report Rick.   It sounds like so much fun.  I used to  

live  in California before moving to Indiana 3 years ago.   I flew  

mostly in the desert near Mohave but also all over the central valley  

and central coast near Monterey.   For flying it can't be beat.   Jerry

 Jerry you should have no problem. I fly my 701 with a 100HP Rotax  

 out of an 800 FT strip at 6500 in the Southern Sierra Mountains of  

 California. Take offs are the most fun. I have 1300 Ft from where I  

 start to the first 75FT pine tree and I usually get about 75FT of  

 clearance.  Landings are interesting also, you come in over the  

 pines throttle back and sink like a rock. Then just before touch  

 down add a little throttle and smooth it out to a soft touch down.  

 It only takes around 175FT to stop in a very relaxed manner. So far  

 I’ve never gone past the half way point. I do not know of many  

 airplanes with that kind of performance. Good luck on you future  

 project.



 Rick

I have a 600 foot strip with tall trees about 200  yards from the threshold. No problem landing on the end and 600 feet is plenty.  I also have a 250 foot strip with clear approaches and that can be a little  tight-things have to be just so and then it's a little hard on the plane because  of the braking often required.
