I would not feel comfortable with 500 feet. My runway is 1400 feet but only 1000 is usable. The 701 is landing limited, but your flight testing will give you good insight. I do not use flaps to land and approach at 55 to 60 mph, just feels better this way. Chuck

Checking in with other Texas builders on the list. I am getting ready for my first flight and looking for fun places to fly after the test phase.
