The story goes that *someone* did one successfully on the duty runway and then requested to do the second one to the reciprocal - and winds seem to be a factor of course. There was later discussion from some **expert** that tried to identify a PROPER way to execute the teardrop and used 800' as a minimum but then again - it still seems that the risk is not worth the reward and statistics seem to prove that out.
