Yes I know where you are coming from!!! It is so nice to have your plane at home. At times I like to just go down to the hanger and piddle with it, something I would be unable to do if I had to drive to the airport. It also allows me to fly more often for the same reason. I'm sure you know this but there are several 701 short landing videos on youtube. Good luck!! Wayne

Hi Ian, my strip is about 1320', 440 yards. It is one way in and one way out. In the video you can see me circling around to the right on approach, those trees that I come over when I first come into view are about 300 yards from the threshold. I usually land about half way down the strip to reduce taxi time. A good pilot could do much better, I have done better, but now I just fly the approach where I feel comfortable. I could slow it down on the short final and drag it in on the prop and stop in the first 600' easy but I just don't need to do it so I don't take the chance. Wayne
