Default Landing on a sloping runway with different wind velocities

Fly a 1946 BC12-D Taylorcraft. No wind, no slope takeoff and landing is
about 300-400 feet. Stall speed about 35 mph. 10 knot tailwind uphill
estimated landing is 500 ft. Downhill landing 10 knot headwind over
obstacles uses estimated 1000 to 1200 ft of runway. I only takeoff
downhill. Unless you have experience with a slope you will
underestimated the effect of the slope.

On long paved runways, I always land into the wind.

OK, your no slope, no wind takeoff and landing are 300-400'.

What is the downhill, no wind takeoff distance?

What is the uphill, no wind landing distance?

I don't takeoff uphill.

Downhill, no wind takeoff is estimated 250 feet.

Remember that I have obstacles at the end of the uphill runway and none at
the end of the downwind runway.
