Amazing things. But that high lift wing and the balloon tyres, must limit the top speed. I'm guessing about 100 knots. Anyone care to educate me on this?
These are bush pilots in places such as Alaska. They fly people and supplies in and out of mountainous terrain locations where sometimes there is nothing to land on but a 20 foot long stretch of flat ground. The modifications necessary to make it a STOL plane limit other abilities such as top speed: Every modification you make to a vehicle is a Compromise, a trade-off.
it'll probably cause more drag and less speed but they are not built for speed. They are built to be able to take off and land anywhere like short grass runways, gravel bars, and stuff like that. The bigger faster planes would need too long of a runway to be able to do that. Somebody could probably correct me on this but I believe that there are even different propellers for whether you want to optimize your take off climb or cruise speed.
That is a Just Aircraft Super STOL. (modified Highlander). Yes they will handle a higher rate of descent, but not necessarily help you land shorter. Certainly don't help on take-off.
SuperYellowsubmarin I wonder if it would work to rig up a way to let a bunch of air out of the tires on downwind, so that they’d be flaccid and less bouncy for landing. Or is that against the rules?
To build one, the cheapest Zenith i found on a quick google search was about 30 thousand dollars. The aircraft in this video seemed to be mostly Piper Cubs, modified of course. A stock j-3 cub is also 30K on the low end, if you can even find that many.
eugene aliongo The engine cost separately is going to depend on how big your engine is going to be on the plane. The 4 cyl. Lycoming O-320 is about 8000 to 17000, based on a 10 minute google search on some websites.
eugene aliongo Hey, no problem man. Just be sure you get some help from the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and some experienced guys to help make sure you're on the right track. Good luck!
Full respect guys! Thats TRUE flying skill. Well Done.
Kiero aprender a bolar tengo 5 abiones y lo uniko ke ago es mirarlos
I love STOL planes, such a great planes.
I WANT a PLANE LIKE THAT😀😀😀
class Bush my love

a piper cub can't even hit that, I don't think
but they aren't designed to fly fast

yeah these planes are slow, some make up for it with power tho
What's the white stuff hitting the ground on takeoff? Nitrous or water injection or some such?
+trackhoe23 the chalk used to make the temporary lines on the runway
anyone know the make of the Josh Pepperd plane?
Interesting to see how the dampers dramatically increase braking perfromance by reducing bouncing
SuperYellowsubmarin Most do not have "dampers". The dampening comes from the tires scrubbibg as the gear spreads on landing.
***** That's the point ! Steve Henry at 6:00 has damped struts, and the difference is amazing ...

SuperYellowsubmarin He doesn't get it Super.... whoosh.. right over his head.. keep the braking wheel on the ground, shorten the roll out.. yes.

Got Nitrous?
hey guys...how much does it cost building one of these?

13megaprime hey Prime, thanks for the info, and i meant also to ask, the engine separately bought,does it fall within this 30k,doesn't it?

thanks buddy, i hope i should take half a year building one!!!
