IS THE RUNWAY TOO SHORT?

I flew the SuperSTOL with David Williams as he gave me all the pointers for landing it at our friend, Gary's, 925' strip. It was a blast and the SuperSTOL is quite a capable short-field airplane. Even on my first attempts, I only used a fraction of the length available, and that was landing with a tailwind.

Thank you for the flyover. I'll never forget it. Im waithis years later and it's got me tear'd up.
That radial sound, the power available...what a machine.
That was/is a beautiful airplane. I wonder if it is still flying just as happily 12 years later? Hope so.
Great video! I was glued watching the whole thing. Very smooth flying! I like the higher path early then low and uncatchable.
Thanks very muc! Smooth air is fast air! No need to be low behind people that put off wake turbulence.
@@flyboycpa I remember Jon Sharp talking about that method years ago. Looks great Sam. The Pitts looks great too.
Scott's a slippery one. Keeps coming back.
I like the wave on one of your passes!! Haha cute!
4:20 I see you tried to cancel the red light! Lol was that because the engine is exceeding the preset RPM value?
Ha! No, I forgot to reset the fuel before the start of the race. It went below my minimum fuel setting.
@@flyboycpa haha I have the same EMS, and have done the same thing.. Great race! They gave you a good run for your money!!
Is this the same airframe as the original Smokin Hot? Just upgraded? Congrats on the win!!
Different airframe
you're the coolest Sam!!! Congrats thanks for being you.
I had you for a lap! Great flying and a well deserved win, Sam!
Thanks! I’ll fly on your wing any day!
Dang! Did you hire bouncers for your pit crew!?
Nice!
Excellent touch down!
What's the approach speed for a craft like this?
WOW, NOW THAT’S ONE AWESOME AIRPLANE!
That was an arrival. Landings are different, and they use a lot less runway.
How are landings different than arrivals?
That is B-E-A-UTIFUL!
Dang. That was a wild ride
Great video Sam! Thanks for sharing. Looks like the view's not bad on the track...
Hey Sam, what size motor is in 3A and how many rpms does it top out at. My family and I join eightsixtythree today and we got to see it. Man, Its was freakin sweet. I got a rush of just looking at it with the guys in your hanger. I can’t imagine what it feels like to race it. 🤟
Excellent film footage.
Wow, that acceleration rate from 0 to lift off is incredibly impressive.
Match the flaps to full aileron deflection for best TO performance in a Navion. No question about it.
I was taught to leave the engine running for 2 minutes after parking to cool.
That's the best way to heat it up.
Awesome view! What instrument is that to the right of your engine monitor? An altimeter? It looks like it goes crazy at times!
Thomas, sorry...I just saw this comment. Yes, that is my wacky altimeter. It never does it any other time except for in the race. I dunno why. It makes it hard to maintain altitude as I fly instruments around the pylons. :)
Nice ride, pretty choppy up there, great job!
Pretty cool run.You gotta love a Pitts!
Nice run... +200 in a Pitts that is fast.
I audio bombed you!!
Paul and sandy are my grandfather and grandmother me and Nani Paul (as I call him) are flying to osh kosh in his globe swift
Ten degree flaps for T.O. At least that’s the way I was taught.
half flaps? I was taught 10 degrees for short field, (slit window canopy--me too as well as split windshield N8645H
Awesome video!
M 14
That’s awesome man!! Is that some “light chop” there passing the pylons?
S1C?
Hübsch Feli , very close. It is a highly-modified S-1D (four ailerons) but for racing the top two ailerons are blocked from moving and the slave struts removed (less drag).
What kind of engine is this?

Nice flying, Sam.
No sound but O well, no biggy. I'm going to start shopping for a Navion in a few months, looks like this one just went up for sale. I'm going to keep my eye for this one when I am ready if it is still up for sale. P.S. I love the split window canopy :-)
Very sad that there is no sound....
it goes "bbbrrrrbrrrrrvvggrrrrrvbbbbrrrrr" like most Continentals. LOL. Sorry for the lack of audio, it was bad on my original file.
Yes, That's funny... but not the point. Being a new Navion pilot, I really wanted to hear the commentary...np... thanks for the camera time spent on the gauges... I liked the video...
INTENCE
Yeah Boy GO!!
Well I suck at interviewing
That was me
When I passed I felt good, when I flipped I felt pain
Bradley Swift85 I race JR sprints in nc and I almost had a backflip on the main event
That was me
I love your racing
