Do you mean allot of gravel or a LOT of gravel?
Ok, obviously I’m being a little picky, but if you can clarify the initial question, we can try to help you out. And don’t worry; I’m not being anal, just trying to help everyone out there in qualifying the right questions.
But seriously, it really depends on the aircraft you’re playing with, whether it’s a tail dragger or a trike and more importantly, are we talking ducted fan?!?!?
The amount of gravel really depends on what your runway acts like. Do you bounce around with no control, or do you have to apply counter rudder / elevator, just to keep the bird down the runway.
BUT, I’m going to assume your just asking of the typical country gravel road to fly from, where I’m going to go out on a limb and say you should be relatively ok….keeping in mind you may hit a larger rock on take off or landing that could bring the ultimate demise to you plane. Food for thought…AND not a suggestion, just a comment.
