Hello,
I have a property that will allow me to install a 1000'(slightly longer) grass runway. It is pretty level and has approximately 50' trees at the ends. The location is 600' above sea level. I would love to know how you think it would perform taking off from a field this size. I am having a hard time tracking down information. If it will work at this location with good margins, I would love to have one. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Thanks,
Matt

You should be ok with a swift-E ,you could always get a 1 1/2 battery pack that would be a standard 14 kg battery and a 7 1/2 kilo battery this will give you amazing thrust and at least 3 meters per second climb rate

For the take off distance just have a look of my first flight with my Swiftlight-E. Less than 60m (180')...No more comment!

hi,
my question concernig the E-swift:
* which prop do you use?
on the prop there should be writen somthing like H25F 1,30m R-E-13-2 or H25F 1,40m R-E-16-2
* which climbing-speed and flaps do you choose as optimal?
thank you for your answer.
** Peter

Hi, with my 92 kg in the Swift light E I need only ca 80 m on a short cut medow. Flaps 15° Prop 2 blades 1,40 m
With about 50 km/h the Swift leaves the medow.
Speed during climbing 70-75 km/h, that's is the best climbing speed, I manage the speed only with the flap.
Climbing rate ca 2 m/s BR, Joe

hi all,
@ JOE - thank you for your quick replay.
can you find somthing written on the prop for the E-swift as mentioned in my last post ? (- expect HELIX  )
which safety-system is installed now? i think the rocket ist still the Junkers-profly ZRM-220. but for the safety-chute there are several information : Metamorfosi, Junkers magnum 250, Galaxy GRS 4/240/40 m2,...
greetings from austria -- on a day with good thermal conditions. -- but i have to work 
** Peter
