Robert Schoenberger



I have a 1400 foot turf runway (TE95) of which the 400 feet of the south end 

is rough, so I only use the 1000 feet from the north. The runway rises in 

the center so I take off and land uphill for either 17 or 35. My 701 with an 

80 hp Jabiru gets off the ground in 5 seconds (solo). I approach about 55 to 

60 mph IAS with no flaps. I have a glide slope indicator for 17. (Look at my 

article in the April 2008 Kitplanes.) I consistently land about 250 feet 

from the north fence and with little braking I stop in about 350 feet. The 

extra airspeed and no flaps gives me more float time during final flare and 

landing. I am not sure why you will takeoff with the wind but even 10 mph of 

tail wind will make the takeoff roll long. Even with only a little wind I 

takeoff and land into it.
