Hi,

I'm in the final stages of building a Kitfox IV Speedster - Rotax 912UL. I currently live in Illinois but will be moving to New Mexico this fall. I have 50 acres in New Mexico 2000 feet in length. The property is at 6000 foot altitude.

i have a friend that will blade a runway for me but it's a limited time offer. I can't be there before he does the work. I need to tell him how long and how wide.

I've been told that even at 6000 feet altitude that a 1000 foot runway would be enough. I know that density altitude will be an issue so I was thinking more like 1200. 30 feet wide.

Any opinions would be welcome.
