They should have a switch to cut the flaps on touchdown. Just like airliners have to pop wing lift spoilers just as they touch down. That is automatic system that detects rotation of a tire and pop the spoilers to cut lift..
I doubt if any of them are watching their air speed indicator. All by feel. Maybe way back on the glide slope with altitude just to establish the right comfort zone.
I've seen hot air balloons cover more ground at take-off than that yellow cub-looking thing. Bravo.
I like when the pilot forces the plane down, when they are taking off, to make them jump like birds
tail dragger heaven, love this stuff.
I think the yellow partial fairing cub was best
Without the results it doesn't say much. I'm guessing the landings are between 10 and 30 metres. But who knows?
Нарушают все законы физики в моей голове
That stripped J3 holds the record now at 9.5 feet on a landing!!!
no that's someone else, it holds the previous record of 10.5 feet

problem is weight, in STOL competitions you want to be as light as possible
Some nice flying skills there. I'm guessing a bit of practice.
having such a plane, you can land at your roof and never care about their land rules, cause you actually never land!!!
👍🔥
They range greatly. I dont personally know all of them in the video, but most. And those range from 120hp up to 220.
Amazing And what is the essence of competition? In the shortest run-up and run when landing?
please tell me the distance of run and run when landing?
F**k me, some of those wheels are big!
It's amazing! No physical laws! It's wonderful, but not a fighters of the 5 generation!

Good point. VFR is a lot of feel
Very little impresses me. I'm impressed.
Where i can get wheels like they use? So smal rims and so fat tyres!

Love you guys ................thanks so much
Would be interesting to see it in real.
so easy take off and landing
It looks like the people who have larger wing flaps get off the ground faster.
Sick take off at 03:00!
The one at 5:45 was even sicker.
show , brasil ok.
Awesome
So what is the minimum take off distance sirs?
THE good old days 1969!!!!!!!
This is sooo cool!
Hahahaha TRY THIS 0N FLOATS AT NIGHT WITH NO LIGHTS on a small lake Loved it 1970 J-3 Cub
That is one sweet landing at 4.32
Question for the experts, are the guys wearing the reflective clothes in danger if there is a prop strike???
There is very little risk. The camera angles make them look closer than they are and everyone in these competitions is very skilled.
Superb video editing!
@ 5:00 gave me a mini-heart attack! :O
Yes they do!
The only way to fly!
Short, but looked like he touched down the main gear before the line..
Can you feel it?
0:37 icq))
Cuánto vale esa nave
What model was that little yellow number at 4:20?
That is an experimental home built plane based off of a J3 cub. Heavily modified!
And the current record holder with a 9.5 foot landing!!
4:40 Holy shit
What is the stall speed on one of these?
They vary greatly, but somewhere between 28-45mph
I could watch this all day…
Any prop damage at this meet ?
Yes, there was one. First time in all the years they have been putting it on
What is that UFO in the upper right corner from 04:29? Identify it for us so it will stop being a UFO.
Byron Black it was another plane
It was the next plane coming in to land behind the previous one!
HuntNphotos also exactly what I meant just a bit more discription
