I am inside a State Forrest but have about 1800' of strip but the width is limited in one area. I will have to remeasure but thinking it is 50-60' max. I used to fly a modified Champ into/out of it and now fly my RANS S7. Both of these are more in the 'Bush plane' catagory hence the wish to find something I can do some longer cross country flights. Also own a 172 that I have flown all over the US but looking for something more efficient and faster.
I will have to revisit Pipistrel, I did give them another quick glance when at Oshkosh but they may have been out of my budget.
