This is a different world of GA. Its fascinating and the equipment is stellar from the flight helment on down to the tires and brakes. The little crow hop take off is a blast.
Looks like you're using an NR Prop in the video for non-competition flying. We also use an NR on our RANS, with 912ULS Rotax. I just heard from Roman Nikolaenko at NR in Kiev, they're OK and still making props every day, in the middle of a war. His closing remark was, "America is a great country!". Maybe because we're helping them keep their freedom. Anyway, if you need a prop for a Rotax powered plane, I think the NR is an excellent option.
Steve, I would like to hear about how you will build (if at all) aircraft if MOSAIC becomes law removing the 50% builder time. I would like to see a dedicated video to this question please!
You think CG would be off with an EP915ECI? With injection and big bore it weighs less than 912ULS. Don’t «need» the XL, but the advantage of extra leverage sounds like a big plus!
Yup, I like my long tailed S-7S better than my first short 7 for the same reasons you said. Those small tires make sense for what you're doing for sure, heck of a lot lighter too. What's you're empty weight these days? I'll guess......740 lbs.
How's the ATV tires working? I bet they are lighter in weight than the 27 inch Dresser Tundra tire for the 8 inch wheel, and much cheaper than the Alaska Bush Tire /Airstreaks
Hey a guy near me is selling his build… he has the extended wing from you guys… what does the extended wing do for performance and cruise speeds? Thanks!

love the stol contest however wold like to see the landing part having to transverse over a 50 ft beam or tape to make it like a real life test,
G,day Steve from Sydney Australia.
Nice collection of trophies on your table.
🌏🇭🇲
Engine sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Hope you have a Trophy
Filled season in 2023
Love that narrow instrument panel and windows at 6:30
thank you! It has the best visibility. ☺️ -Sara
Thanks Steve, as far as stol products go, you are the best at showing us the results!
Thanks Isaac 😊
Really enjoyed talking with you at Oshkosh last year and you really put on an exhibition in the STOL contest.
Awesome. If I knew when you are practicing out at the Nampa airport I would come and watch. Safe travels.
You are the G.O.A.T . Your videos are always fun to watch
Was just re watching your last video on 8 and thinking Steve is way overdue for a new video and blammo
Steve, let me know if you want two rolls of flourescent yellow this year, and or if you'd like to try 1/2".
Hello from Minnesota!! Can't wait to see the new plane!
👋 thank you!! -Sara
That's the only A/C I've ever seen you could taxi AIRBORNE! Retired A&P.
That was great, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Another great one from the STOL MASTER thanks steve
Very welcome
Lo and Slo , the way to go !!

NR props are good. My new Sensenich prop is really nice as well.
Wow…! She’s hardly moving in the air. It just floats along beautifully. I am impressed.
It does slow flight very nicely!
Thanks Steve! As much sponsorship you have I’m surprised Coca-Cola isn’t on it.
I think Redbull is more appropriate
Great work!!!!
Thanks Austin! ☺️
Very impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
2:25 are you guys dealers for oratex. I'm about to place an order but I'd love to go through you
Another awesome video. We love you Steve. Josh Myer Peachey.
Thank you Josh, hope to see you and your family this summer. 😊
@@SteveHenry i dont think ill be able to make it but the rest will!

Steve: your wingroot fabric is flapping in the prop blast at 9:53min.
I see what your saying, but that’s just the reflection from the window. I will put a camera on it from another angle next time so we can see. -Sara

It would probably be a real nice combination.
See you in Wayne! Lots of first this year... YeeHaw 8 will be ready for all of 2023 then?
Yes! We plan on flying 8 for all the events this year. Thank you, see you at Wayne ☺️ -Sara

How many fpm do you see on a cold day like that with just you in there?
I really never leave it full throttle long enough to see just how fast it would climb but I have seen over 4000 feet a minute.
How's the ATV tires working? I bet they are lighter in weight than the 27 inch Dresser Tundra tire for the 8 inch wheel, and much cheaper than the Alaska Bush Tire /Airstreaks
So far they’re working really well and the price is unbeatable!
That's awesome! Are you running the 3 cylinder Yamaha in this one?
Ooohhh yeah. The sidewinder 🤩
@@SteveHenry why do you call it a sidewinder? If I may ask. Thanks
@@oneninerniner3427 Same engine in snowmobile.
@@fjb6576 I knew that.
@@oneninerniner3427 Yamaha calls their snowmobile the sidewinder, therefore the engine gets called sidewinder too
Hi Steve, do you got any complete aircraft for sale?
Steve - great video! Where did you get that visor for the SkyCowboy/team Wendy helmet?! Exactly what I am looking for!
Thank you! The visor is from Sky Cowboy. You can get ahold of them to get one. -Sara
Thank you!
I like it 👌
Hi Steve. Obviously the plane is meant for slow flying, but I’m curious; how fast can it go?
Hey a guy near me is selling his build… he has the extended wing from you guys… what does the extended wing do for performance and cruise speeds? Thanks!
It will land 1 to 2 miles an hour slower with the wings extended a little bit. Unless you’re doing competitions I don’t think it’s worth it.
What is your lead time on Highlander kit delivery?
It’s about 2 years right now. Put your order in sooner than later! -Sara
Looks like you could easily hit 3,000 AGL in less than a minute. She must be VERY light.
Yeah, this thing climbs like crazy!!
Are you bringing HeeHaw 8 to Sun n Fun?
Yes we are!
Climbs like it's allergic to gravity
I want one.. Need anyone to weld fuselage frames, I need a side-job, I own my TIG welding Equipment, retired from AMC.. I Want to Help
