REFLECTOR: Runway length

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Again.. At WHAT density altitude?. makes a huge difference. I only have 4300' 
X 40' of runway here at my airpark. Feels like plenty on most things, but 
canards really are runway hogs.

I fly my 173FG IO360 off a 3400 ft paved runway with 20 ft levees directly 
off both ends of the runway.  I did the first flight here and had no 
difficulty--landings take a little getting use to the sight picture, but also no issue.   
 

I've also landed/taken off on paved runways as short as 2200 ft with no 
issue--you just have to control the speed and fly a stabilized approach.
