My grass strip is extremely smooth and well cared for. We are building a second runway which will be 3800' long, 200' wide on a 4000' field and will be better than the old one. Yes it is tight with the 4P but I did not have to use any beta to stop. My go-no go point is about 200' agl up the glide path. If I am not on speed, altitude and sink rate it's a go around before I descend below the trees. I like the 235 because of the economy (buying and operating) but my son will be flying it some and I want more margin of safety than with the 4P in and out of here.
