limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

Make it happen, Dr. G!

There will be a fun fly of some kind here this summer! Bbq and lots of flying. I think I need some bigger planes.

you shouldn't have any problem landing on a strip that long. I fly a 50CC Yak 54 and the most amount of runway I ever use is about 200 feet. If I can touch it down at the beginning of the runway I generally have to add power to get it back to me. Once you get used to an airplane you can slow it down even more. Like Sam said, a 50cc airplane really needs less than 100 ft of runway to safely land. You can land 40% airplanes in less than 300 ft of runway.
