Haven't found it yet in literature, but what is lowest amount of fuel for high pitch/AOA short field takeoffs. I have never gone below 5 gallons per wing in my PA28-180. I know in my jet experience we have min fuel pitch for takeoff to avoid starvation. Anything like this or any recommendations? Trying decided if I could safely operate out of a 1800' ft grass field and what is the lightest I can be to do it safely.
