A unique experience. Worth the challenge.

Is the grass runway Mooney safe?

Wow that looks like a cool fly-in. Have landed our J on grass several times, and we have the low hanging gear cups (some people remove them for grass) - so not much clearance at all. Still if its a nice smooth and dry strip, have never had a problem.

I’ve attended a couple times in mine. Not a problem in the”C”. Mind you it is short and keeping the nose light (“stick” back) always a good technique on grass. Runway was good, taxiing to parking a bit rough. Conditions should be dry and it looks like wind will be down the runway. Check out the various YouTube videos.
