Hi there, My strip is circa 240 metres long, slightly up hill one way and a hedge at the other end. As a reference, I generally use circa a third of the runway in light winds to stop (and take-off) without using excessive braking - strong much winds quicker! The hangar is a bespoke build, 'T' shaped hanger using Yorkshire boarding, Gale Breaker sliding curtain with a tin roof. Ed
@@HinterlandPilot you ought visit mine. About 200m max 29/11. 29 much easier. On Skydemon 'Rolleston Park' directly between Tatenhill and Derby. Had an Easy Raider microlight based here but have sold it. Now have a Groppo Trail which is at Darley Moor and haven't had the bottle to have a go at my own strip yet... Sean
How short a strip will you get in and out of? Also interested in your hangar build! Coverted barn?
