be sure I can eventually fly a Cub or Super cub into "my backyard".
Anyone know how many acres are needed for a decent grass landing strip?


I have many friends with their own airstrips. The smallest is on 15
acres and goes diagonal on the property from corner to corner and is
1300 feet. No obstacles on the approaches other than a barb wire fence.
I can get my Bonanza in and out of there but not when I am very heavy.
If I as building my own I would have 3000 feet.
