I went on Sunday, it was dry and nice ,only rained one night in the week and today was a swamp / mud.
This runway doesnt drain
I know I need bigger tires but this swamp wasnt supposed to be there.

Now a video of how you got it out of there would be nice!

All the money that you have in that plane...as you said to start, get some tires!!! Could have been much worse...prop strike, prop strike and a collapsed nose gear, you know where I'm going...just get some 850x10s and your laughing.

Best $ you will spend. Specially with all those jungle // grass strips your going into all the time.

With the 850's your even giving yourself a chance if you have to land on the beach but not with those little 6 or 700's your running.

Keep posting! I enjoy seeing your threads

Take off run longer than usual, with the conditions and a density alt of about 6,000ft.

I love the way you, on takeoff, stay in low ground effect until either plenty of kinetic energy of pressure airspeed is developed or terrain forces you up. Where did you learn that amazingly good technique?

You can also use more low ground effect on landing. By using power/pitch/rudder to get a steeper glide angle over the trees, you can have more runway to slow to well below stall speed in low ground effect (hover taxi.) Not as needed a technique where you have mud to slow you, but getting as slow as possible (airplane shaking) helps the nose gear in mud. Also when it is dry, having the extra runway, or even hover taxi over rough ground before the runway, can be helpful. Full flaps, of course, always.

Well I think I learned that technique somewhere in this forums along with many other stuff I learned thru reading advice here and practicing it many times over and over.

I know what you mean about the landing, I did one last week on a long grass runway, I stayed at 40mph 3 feet off the ground and touched down when I saw the best area (also a muddy grass one). It has been my slowest landing ever.
