I would be interested in the specs for your P61. I'm always looking for Watts required , weight, wing load etc.

For info, a gentleman I know at church flew night intercept with a P61 in Korea. During WWII his squadron flew old Beaufighters.

We have a fairly nice flying field in Camarillo. Our site has many improvements like sun shaded pits, out houses etc. The runway is only 400 feet long which really keeps me on my toes. The wind can get crossed often enough. You are always welcome as my AMA guest if passing thru but I doubt that our field is good for your P61.

In about 30 days or so I should know what my ship will gross out. Probably about 13#. That is 13#/ 3.8 sq.ft =3.4#/sq ft. Ugh! I am seriously concerned that this thing has been a big waste of time and should better be used as a wind sock. We shall see.

At this time I'm thinking of 13# * 60 W/# or 800W minimum TO power. Probably try for a KW max available power.
