'Scott,
The F-24 flaps have two positions, half- and full-flap. I use half flap for
takeoff and normal landings. If you're a little high, pull in full-flap and
point the nose down.
I operated out of 2500 feet of sod in Ohio for four years before I moved to
California. While there I took my 24 into a friend's 1800-foot one-way grass
strip many times. Of course, you don't want to load it down. I rarely fly
with more than two people, counting myself.
Try to find a way to get into a 24 for a demonstration flight. That's all it
would take. They really are fine airplanes.
