With a limitations of 1000 ft runway, a two place aircraft, and an 18.5 ft

door - the dolly may still be a good idea. Light gauge tracks can made
from 
steel angle the will track a deck of some sort as well. You see this done 
occasionally for helos. Just try not to let these limitations pull you
away 
from a three axis fixed wing design. I would certainly spend some time on
a 
trike, gyro or powered parachute before I invested in one.
