Hi all,
I'm an italian guy with a dream to build an RV-10.
Since several months I'm trying to understand the specific limits of that Aircraft with a particular reference about the capability to operate in a short grass strip.
I read a lot about that, but still I do not have a clear idea of the subject.
I live at sea level (near Venice) and I granted the possibility to open a short grass strip for Flying (not so easy in Italy). 1000 feet. Thats all!
So the question is very simple: with a proper training do you think it is possible to use an RV-10 with only 1000 feet of RUNWAY ?
Note that there are not high obstacles out of the runway; open field on one side (other 1000 feet before an obstacle of 50') and a small river on the other side with many other fields.
I mean not a gross weight, but with the most common usage conditions (2 people, half fuel etc) and the typical meteo condition (20-30 C?).
I'd like understand if I can fly, whitout figuring out every day to estabilish a guinness record to minimize the runway..
An answer to that question is very important for me. It is a sort of "Go" or "Not go" for that project.
Thanks a lot
Francesco
