Hi,

I am considering building a CH-701. I am also in the market for real estate. I
would like to buy enough land to build grass runway.

I do not have private pilot's license. I have taken lessons and have about 10 hours
solo in Piper Colt years ago. Plan to start again.

My question is how much grass runway would a low hours pilot need for a 701 runway
including clearing 50' trees on both ends? I would get 701 or similar time
at real airport.
