Follow the plans. There are many structural reasons why aircraft are assembled
in a certain order. You'll need a minimum of 23' X23' inside garage wall dimensions
without a center support post to have room to work with engine/prop on and
HS/VS off. I spent the last 100 hrs with final assembly at the airport. Good
luck with the house search and -10 build. If you can find a house with the electrical
panel in the garage...all the better. Nice for air compressor, heating
or a/c and lighting.

| Subject: | Grass runway operation |
Hi,
For those who are flying in and out of grass runways could you please share ground
roll for T/O and landing distance at gross weight.
Vans states on there website 500ft/650ft but I guess that's on paved runways.
Has anyone experience how terra grid (50% coverage) of grass runway influences
T/O distance.
Thanks
Michael

While I don't know the answer to your question, I suspect it is not significantly
different given the impressive T/O performance (landing should be the same
or better since we don't brake too hard). The biggest consideration operating
on grass is the close tolerance between wheel pant and wheel, you might want
to do a search of the archives if nobody has any direct comments.

Landing on grass is not always same or better. Grass can hold moisture and power
braking NOT suggested. Vans posted landing distance includes liberal use of
brakes.

I fly off of grass almost exclusively. While I have never measured actual take
off distance at max gross, I can tell you it is significantly reduced when you
take off with half flaps.

My strip is 2200' and I'm off in less than half at gross. If it's soft and wet
I will use half.

The only time I get off on pavement in 500' is solo, full fuel and below 50F at
663' MSL. At gross with the family and 3* flap setting during the hot humid summer
we are off around 2,000'. Winter maybe 1,000'. On wet, soggy grass at Triple
Tree, SC this summer departing uphill rwy 3, at gross with 18* flaps we were
off in 2,000. I usually land at 4* glideslope, 70 kias at gross, touchdown
100-200' past the numbers, don't touch the brakes, roll out 2,000' before turning
off at midfield. I raise the nose and let it fly off when it is ready, usually
about 65 kts at gross. I hardly use brakes on any landing, even if I have
to taxi 500' farther back to the ramp.
