I tried touching down at the very start of the runway at MCA (20 kts with my setup) with full flaps and no wind and still overran the other end. Perhaps with a lighter battery (5200 mAh instead of 6200) and more elevator authority to make use of aerodynamic braking it will be possible!
Yes, it is! Only 200 feet long. It's set up mainly for small EDFs that need a smooth surface to take off. My 80mm Avanti needs about 300 feet to land, but I've seen smaller jets land and roll to a stop on the 200 foot runway.

Stand 1/4th of the way from the approach end and land in front of where you’re standing.. 😎
Yes, that would definitely help. For this video I wasn't trying to do a full stop on the geotex, just practicing touch and go's.
I'll preface this by saying I know very little to nothing about RC flying but the runway looked really short
