I have been out of flying for over 10 years now. (I know, what a real waste of one's life!) I just got back into it a couple of weeks ago and I am really excited about getting back into the air. In the past I own a third interest in a J-3 Cub and a Camp.
Now I am looking for a plane that has some of the features as my two past taildraggers but, with a little more speed.
I want to build a hanger and landing strip on my property, but only have 850 feet between some 30 foot tall trees on one end and a 25 foot obstacle on the other end.
I am looking seriously at the Kitfox 7, equipped with the new Lycoming IO-233 engine.
My question is this: Will this Kitfox 7 be able to safely fly into an out of this proposed runway? MSL: 350 feet
