Default RE: RUNWAYS: makeshift/portable materials

[sm=lol.gif][sm=cry_smile.gif] Yes, I found that a piece of spare carpet worked perfectly in my SE5 experiments. The carpet I used very successfully with my SE5 is 1.5 feet wide and 10 feet long. It will accompany my now fine tuned Mk IX Spitfire along with my lightest GUNFIGHTER as wingman to enjoy some long range mission flying at various altitudes.
Taking off from the "magic carpet" and landing on "rougher" areas sort'a works on marginal fields. Before flight I try to take most of the unevenness out of the carpet. No crashes on take off, . . . so far.

Good luck.
