As the relative newbie who has no grass landings to his credit, what precisely is so "risky" about landing on a well maintained runway? I would think that an errant gopher hole would be a far greater potential hazard.He is a great pilot and has been flying a long time, but doesn't want to risk landing on hard surface
Where do you fly out of?I am a 100hr Sport Pilot that is currently flying our Cub and Champ. We have a pretty good bunch of guys locally that for the most part, only fly between grass strips and local fly-ins. In a 15 mile radius there are probably 75-100 antique airplanes, not all flying of course. My dad has a Fleet 16B that we have spend 20+ years restoring, but he only flies it roughly 10-12 hours a year.
