That's about right with 30-50 ft trees all the way around. It's all I need though. By the time I get from the north end of the runway to the dome I am in the air and by the time I get to the other end I'm at over 400 Ft and that's not even with max climb. Landing I touch down at the beginning

That's' plenty of runway, and sounds like LOTS of fun. A friend of one of ours daughter's in-laws flies an RV-8 out of a 900 foot field behind his house. That prompted me to find out if I could get in and out of such a field. Just, I can take off in 600' and consistently stop in 850', twice as

Strong work. Did you use SIPs for your skins? Those would be easy enough to cut into the proper faces to build any polyhedral shape. Could probably even get the factory to make them up so no field cutting. We have a SIP factory here, which seems to consist mainly of a large press to glue

Those are a sorta form of SIP I guess, they are structural and they are insulated, with a different kind of joining technique. I looked at some of the plans, I liked them. Did you put it up yourself or contract it out (did I miss that aspect earlier?)? I contracted out putting up my
