REFLECTOR:Help me buy a house...on an airport

[reflector@tvbf.org]

I've flown my 173FGE with a fixed pitch prop off of grass strips and you need a lot of runway with clear areas off the end.  nlike a spam can, you can't haul back on the yoke to keep the nose wheel off or else you risk hitting the prop.   

The velocity specs are for a hard surface runway.   You also need to worry about prop damage.   Its amazing what a pusher sucks into the prop, they make great runway-wacuum cleaners.
