sennadog,
Yes, I've been in there, but it was in one of the orange Shadows from the unfashionable corner of Redhill. They will take off and land on a sixpence, so I didn't have to worry about the bend in the runway as I never had to get that far.
Having since moved on to metal aeroplanes as well, I'd say you'd be OK in a 172 or similar as long as the ground wasn't wet and you didn't take many friends or lots of fuel along with you.
I'd imagine a Katana would handle it easily, especially if it was just 1 POB.
The microlight common frequency is 129.825. Be prepared for exciting chat along the lines of -
"You there John?"
"Yes. Where are you Bob?".
"Behind you John."
"Where's Bert then?"
I'll be at Redhill both days this weekend, so send me a private message if you want to meet up to have a look at the AFE guide. I wouldn't mind having a look around your club, since a tailwheel conversion on the Cub looks appealing.
