Default RE: Makeshift Runway

We take off from a grass field. It has some gradual hills in it, but we rolled out most of the bumps. It's cut about as short as a golf course fairway (maybe a hair longer?).

If you use tarps and have a prop strike, you will rip the tarp, causing an area that could snag your plane next time around. Just something to think about.
