Default Selecting landout airports

Great advice. I'm planning to fly power and inspect some of the airports in question. Both the ships I fly are standard class CG hook.

Generally the paved strips I'm considering (with edge lights) are 72' wide to 75' wide. Considering runway lights are at least a few feet beyond the runway edge, it seem 75' would work pretty well, even if a wing dropped before I came to a complete stop. Seems you have to have at least the center line, or hold wings level till a complete stop in this situation.

Aerotow with our Pawnee, unassisted seems like a more difficult proposition based on above runway. But with the JJ wing runner, or a human wing runner, maybe it's ok. Our STD Cirrus really likes to drop a wing unexpectedly pre 30kts or so. Another subject, but I think I need to get better at using both aileron AND rudder to counter this. Aileron only doesn't usually cut it. I worry that if I apply full rudder it's going to make the ship veer off to one side.
