How close is to short to fly?

Careful on the commuting. It's easy to take excessive risk such as marginal weather or a questionable preflight result. You have to be really willing to cancel the flight if the engine is a wee bit rough during run up.

I also think you're underestimating overheads if you think you can get a complete flight in 35 minutes, including securing the aircraft.

I'm not saying it would be quicker, but it would be more enjoyable.

Plus, I don't have any issue canceling a flight. I'm sort of used to that with offshore fishing. I can't tell you how many times I woke up at six, loaded the boat, then went out to the pass just to turn around because the weather forcast was wrong.
