My neighbors fly those STOL airplanes off our runway behind our houses. So fun to watch them. Like little kids when the wind is just enough to get off fast.
Incredible !!!! What would ..... Richard Pearce say from New Zealand or the Write Brother's from the U.S.A ... Both Respectively deserve a mention . GOD bless these men for being the forefathers of powered controlled flight . Richard Pearce actually had aleirons and the Wright brothers wing waulping .. I'm in oar , and have now watched this short at least one hundred times 🤪 seriously at least !! I'm still getting a thrill every time I see those wheels roll not even twice!!! And that amazing prop sound ,,. Sounded like a Rotax at first but boy that is amazing ..to see the power on , flaps down ... Airborne.. flaps up...😳. GONE ! !!! !!!
This planes 😮😮😮... Is such a WoW thing. So incredible aeroplane... I love the way it lands or takeoff... So WoW 😮😮😮. I wish a Happy and safe flights new year...
I saw a piper cub fish spotter plane do this many years ago but the plane went backwards after takeoff. When the pilot eventually made it back to Merimbula airport, he landed on the taxiway in under 10 meters
Do you wanna know something crazy this isn’t even his shortest takeoff. He has one at like half the distance. It literally looks like he just got his engine. You hear it and then you see him release the brakes and then not even a split second not even a 10th of a second later he’s in the air he’s just gone and he’s up and I don’t think you understand how impressive that is
Not a Piper Cub, it's a Highlander Super STOL. Far lighter and different aircraft, plus his is highly modified, including engine. It only kinda looks like a cub only with your prescription glasses removed 100 yards away....
Depending on how light it is, and how much surface area there is for lift, combine with wind speed, ya, that’s totally doable! In fact, if there is a steady wind at 20mph, he could conceivably land the thing vertical relative to ground speed.
I love this stuff! Incredible. I wonder if putting electric motors on wing tip facing up would get it even shorter. I know not the what this sport is about but would love to see even shorter take offs!
These kinds of planes really fascinates alot since they require very less space to take off and land and can be useful in mountainous areas but iam not sure are they faster than a chopper or not.
I wish there was a wind speed display on the starting line of these events and/or they averaged an upwind and downwind TO and landing, at least for the most skilled pilots.
My rc planes require more runway lol
THAT'S THE SHORTEST RUNWAY I HAVE EVER SEEN.!!!!
😅
👍😂
Need to fully lock the brakes go wide open throttle release breaks full flaps and pull up!
I want one so bad now that was so impressive 😂
2 rotations on the tires 🤦♂️ ❤
I see it
Those tires are gonna last forever.
Yep, and left the ground in the length of the aircraft !!
Have been counting too 😂
Just over 2 1/2
My birth certificate says I'm 60, but I feel like 6 when looking at that beauty
You obviously have the right altitude😅😂
My birth certificate doesn't give me my age, it does give my birth date though.
A set of tires must last you decades! 😊😉
Unfortunately no they are made of a super soft compound but I see why you wou think that since they only made two rotations
Amazing!!! The length of his airplane? That's not a takeoff, that's a lift-off
There is a very strong head wind, it is normal for him to get up so early.
Thought he'd NEVER get airborne!
Hahaha
"You can pick it up any time ya Luke there, Captain"
(See: "The vodka burner is rolling")
Now that’s Funny!
Now that is what I call a short takeoff
Does it not qualify to be a helicopter
Short field, soft field takeoff.
Yea that’s the entire purpose of the video… 😒
It looks like he had trained to fly over his two story home on a 30' runway is his back yard. The Hp / torque / to weigh ratio is impressive.
I've seen some of the landings but this is the first take-off that I seen.
Jeez! Even more impressive! 😲
The internet: How many acres do I need on my property to make a runway?
This guy: What's an acre?
😅
2
I'm not sure as much as you need you'll figure it out
What’s a runway? 😮💨
@@thelastrebelshow1627 it's a strip of land that some airplanes take off and land on
But can he land 🤔
“We don’t need no stinkin runway!”
Wow! That gives a whole new perspective to short take off.
That's a helluva head wind!
2 tire rotations that is crazy. That engine is turning some good rpm and I bet that prop is expensive.
This plane lifts so fast, it's truly breathtaking!
🛫
He's got a hell of a headwind to give him the lift he needed to get off the ground that fast.
Yeah you can see it is blowing hard
Этот самолёт из компонентов пластика плюс мощный движок😊
Its the plane.
Steve makes his own headwind with 300 hp at 11,500 rpm!🤣
Balsa wood and nylon fabric, with a few bits of carbon fiber and aluminum.. Probably under 500lb including the engine.
When an airplane identifies as a helicopter.
No, just no. Don’t say shit like that!
When an airplane is light and has a powerful engine.

Don't make airplanes gay

Very impressive.
What did I just watch!!!! That’s crazy!
Impressive power and wing loading
Damn he moves those flaps like how some people can wiggle their ears
Hydraulic!
Used to fly ultralights, took a little longer to become airborne , so much fun!
Doolittle flying off aircraft carrier. Henry : hold my beer.
Espectacular no necesitamos tanto terreno para el despegue
Woh! That plain gives me goosebumps. Love it.
When you're really late for the meeting.
Cool as hell.
He can probably landed in just that short of distance too. Those Pilots are amazing
I didn't even know Steve Harvey was a pilot? I just thought he had a TV show!
Steve henry not steve harvey
@@garystoltz573 Same same, bald headed black guy, one has a talk show the other flys a STOL plane
😂😂😂
That was great! I still can't stop chuckling. That plane barely rolled its own length before it took off!
The tires rotated 2 ½ times before lift. Wow.

Badd ass bush plane .I can only imagine the feeling you get seeing that coming to get you out of a bad spot
THIS IS A COMPETITION ONLY AIRCRAFT...LOL TRAILER QUEEN
Controlling the flaps the whole time. Damn that’s being in tune with your plane
“How much runway do you need?”
Pilot: “I think a picnic table is more than enough”
Что за соревнования,быстрее взлет,короче посадка 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Привет из Сибири,никакой политики.
It's like flying a kite... except instead of having it on a string, you're IN the kite.
Spectacular I could takeoff in my driveway
This planes 😮😮😮...
Is such a WoW thing.
So incredible aeroplane...
I love the way it lands or takeoff...
So WoW 😮😮😮.
I wish a Happy and safe flights new year...
What a wonderful short takeoff amazing
You can see the moment the TC locks in! Man that was badass
"Ok so were we gonna land?"
"In mah backyard"💀
SHORT runway! The plane must have a very powerful motor, and lift must be very good! Amazing!
300 hp turbo Yamaha.
Special ground effects flaps and 18 inches added to each wing tip for competition!
The most excited plane i've ever seen!!!
I saw a piper cub fish spotter plane do this many years ago but the plane went backwards after takeoff. When the pilot eventually made it back to Merimbula airport, he landed on the taxiway in under 10 meters
The sheer joyful feeling
Thats a strong motor and a light chassis
Do you wanna know something crazy this isn’t even his shortest takeoff. He has one at like half the distance. It literally looks like he just got his engine.

Ya look at the crazy head wind he's going into no duh
That Piper Cub design is 100 years old. Fighter pilots trained in them for WW2 you could fly it from the back seat.
Not a Piper Cub, it's a Highlander Super STOL. Far lighter and different aircraft, plus his is highly modified, including engine.
It only kinda looks like a cub only with your prescription glasses removed 100 yards away....
Not a piper. However built off same design lighter frame bigger engine.
Wow😳😳😳 What a short take off!!!
You could take off and land on your own house roof! Imagine FedEx delivery that fast.
Восхищаюсь!
Wow❕
It takes off emediately... 👌🏻👍🏻
Extra nice when you have a 20 mph headwind.
Чудесно, и на огороде места хватит
Watch the flap action. That’s hands on stuff.
Yes, really... Wow, so he could have taken back out the flaps in an instant, should they be needed, but no, already fast enough to climb out ;-)
GREAT PLANE FOR TOUCH AND GO ! Truly Clemente
Depending on how light it is, and how much surface area there is for lift, combine with wind speed, ya, that’s totally doable!
In fact, if there is a steady wind at 20mph, he could conceivably land the thing vertical relative to ground speed.
When you want your tires the last as long as possible.....🙃🙂
Runway? I don't need no stinkin runway!
Unbelievable , take off in light breeze
Oh snap I want one. The one I built only had an elastic band in the middle for the propeller. 😂😂😂
I love this stuff! Incredible. I wonder if putting electric motors on wing tip facing up would get it even shorter. I know not the what this sport is about but would love to see even shorter take offs!
Thank goodness, a strong headwind.
Dayum!!! So sick!!! 🎉 Bravo!!!
THAT THING IS A BLESSING!!!!!❤
someone needs to build a mini-draco.
Anything's possible with a 20 knot headwind😂😂😂 good stuff thanks for posting.
For sure wind helps. His shortest take off is 6’. Even in no wind it’s about 50’. Impressive all around
@@NationalSTOL I couldn't do THAT when I was flying my helicopter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for taking the time to respond.
Ok, that is the STO part of things, we need to see some SL stuff now!
decolagem em dois metros. klkll impressionado com a desenvoltura.
Amazing plane it took off with the propeller barely spinning!
Optical illusion caused by the shutter speed of tenge camera syncing with the props rotation.
@@NationalSTOL well you just blew a hole in my dream I was hoping it was true! lol
Это просто фантастика !!!
Superb take off 👌
Dang! This pilot can take off of helipads!
I saw this plane and I loved it
Incredible bush takeoff. 👏. How short of a landing is question 🤔. That's one hell of a competition.
One aircraft length and he's airborne. WT?
what was that 6-7 ft?
Doesn't need a runway, just a back garden, "just off to Aldi luv"!
BallOOn tires make it FUN ☘️
It's almost a helicopter !
These kinds of planes really fascinates alot since they require very less space to take off and land and can be useful in mountainous areas but iam not sure are they faster than a chopper or not.
I wish there was a wind speed display on the starting line of these events and/or they averaged an upwind and downwind TO and landing, at least for the most skilled pilots.
Wow! This guy could make a hobby aircraft carrier by decking out a 16ft fishing boat.
Hey this is great! We can make aircraft carriers 5ft long now!
Now that's getting airborne in a hurry 😁
The guy literally catapults into the atmosphere 😂😂😂
Inconceivable!
Wow. 2 revolutions of the landing gear to get airborne
Maravilhoso apenas 3 metros para decolar.....
anyone notice how much wind was blowing into his space?
😮. Dayum! It appears that pilot just flew his plane off the ground inside the overall length of the plane. For an airplane… that’s a first for me.
When you though it couldn't rev any higher 😊
Super 👍!!!
Esse que é o avião...
Wow that is awsome basically like a helicopter
Holy cow. Love this.
That’s amazing!
Weird looking helicopter
It’s SUPER CUB helicopter!
Super Cubter
He took flight in less then 20 yards that's crazy
You mean less than 5 yards?
