Hi Max,
I think the XL is supposed to have a 500 foot takeoff distance. I am not sure which engine that supposes, but I think 1600 feet is plenty of runway for an XL.
The more difficult issue, I think, will be landing on a shorter strip. That can be enhanced using an LRI or other AOA device to allow minimum approach speeds.
When I think of the issues with renting a hangar at the local paved airport, I wish I could come up with even a thousand foot runway at my place.
Good luck,
Paul

[quote]Phil is on the money about all the dust in the air. And words have meaning. The word "Failure" is one example. I learned in an accident investigation course that "Failure" is rarely used by investigators. Rather, the event is described with precise terms as "collapsed, fractured, ruptured, deformed" or other appropriate term. "Failure" implies that the part did not meet design goals. Legalistic hair splitting. I apologize. That said, I am with Phil and others that have expressed confidence in the design. I remain tuned in to the list for any thing new. The only thing that has changed for me is that I may not base at the 3500' paved airport, but on my property. I am trying to buy a 75' by 1600' piece of land abutting my property. Its too late and I'm unwilling to change projects to a 701. I think the climb prop that I have on hand will make the XL work out OK. At least that's what I have been told.
