Idaho back country flying
I have a similar question from across the pond. I have been thinking of buying a Skymaster for some time. I have a level 650 -700 yard grass strip, with good approaches, i.e. no obstacles at either end other than a low hedge. I could if necessary extend the strip by a few yards but would rather not if possible. The weather in southern UK is obviously not the same as Idaho and we do have regular rainfall. However the strip is well drained and the ground rarely gets very soft. I would be interested to hear opinions on the suitability of a Skymaster with either Robertson or Horton STOL kit fitted for use from my strip.
