My runway is 1290 feet with power lines on the South end. The North end is openwith just a field then trees 1300 feet from the North end of the runway. Itis not for low time pilots or airplanes with stall speeds of 50 MPH or greater.A Cessna 150 with 2 on board would be very iffy. I would not try it. A go roundinto those power lines might invite a wreck because of the poor climb rate.Cubs, Aeroncas work fine. One friend has a Cessna 140 and he works it just finebut he has about 1500 hours in it. I would not fly off a 600 foot strip atall with obstructions. I flew a Cessna 180 off 600 feet near Clewiston, FL fora tomato farm conglomerate BUT the only obstructions were tomato plants.--------Jerry Dotson59 Daniel Johnson RdBaker, FL 32531Started building NX510JD July, 2009wing, tailfeathers doneusing Lycoming O-235Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: firewall size

A friend of mine just finished a Rans using the Stewart system. This is his 3rd airplane. He is a perfectionist and his plane is flawless (or at least looks that way). He used Stits on the first 2 and said that the Stewart system has a learning curve, especially on the paint. He hated it and won't ever use it again. However, it turned out great and the plane looks like a show stopper. ----- Original Message -----
