Landing strip in the Central Pacific area in Costa Rica, designated for Ultralights,1,200 ft long , in good shape. first time back since my friend , the owner died in a homebuilt plane crash.
Wife kept the strip and keeps it in good shape , so friends can still use it. (it was a bit wet today tough).

Im starting to wonder if a bit lower air pressure will be better in the tires for grass and muddy landing strips? At least on the mains?
