Back out in the Hangar for the Spring and summer of 2017. Our Hangar in about 150 years from the house. We have a 1450 foot turf Runway on our farm. With a 2/20 orientation. At NNE end are power lines and 700' beyond that is rapidly rising terrain. Runway 20 slopes downward from halfway point. The slope increases as to runs SSW. 500 ft. beyond the departure end are 75' trees. As a Husky owner and friend said to me after landing here, "Well, this runway will keep the riffraff out!" I have flown my J-3-85 Cub here for the last 15 years. BUT there are many days that we can not fly. This due to the runway being, for the most part, a one way in, the other way out, operation. Also there is a period of time that, if we suffered an engine failure in the Cub there is on option then to settle into the trees. For that reason I have moved the Cub to our local county airport KVTA. So, you can see this strip is perfectly suited for a Justaircraft Highlander. We can Takeoff and Land either direction!
The flap control worked well on the bench. However, once installed it is very sticky. So. more work is needed.
