He wanted a runway of at least 4000 feet just in case he had to abort the first take-off. I now have about 16 hours on the plane and believe you need a longer runway for those first landings because in a new plane it is hard to bring the plane down in the first 400 to 500 feet! If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them. Eugene Long Lancair Super ES glong2@netzero.net
