Everyone,I just signed a contract on an 18 acre farm in NE Ohio - life is good. There isthe potential for a 600-650' (9/27 orientation) grass runway along one edgeof the primary field. To the west there are 40-50' trees about 300-350' fromthe possible runway end. To the east, there are no obstructions for about 400',and then none over 25' beyond that. 75'-plus hill immediately to the south-southeastof the possible runway location, creek bottom to the north.My question is, is this enough room to get a Piet in and out? I'll be using aCorvair for power, I weigh 150 fully dressed & I'm seriously considering the Riblett612 airfoil for the additional lift.I'd also mention that there is a private field with available hangar space (Minerva,Ohio) about 4 miles away, but I'd like the option of keeping the plane atthe farm.Comments?Thanks!Kip Gardner________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks Hans,in this part of the world, normal prevailing winds tend to be from the west. Any time it's coming from somewhere else, it's usually a harbinger of weather you would not want to fly in anyway
