It’s always nice to see young people doing something with their lives. One never sees stuff like this in the news. 71 days build time. Gotta admire that.
My dream plane. Been watching and following there progression for several years. Im blown away with this bird. The wing is where most of the majic is. And so far, every one flying is a little bit different because Clint is still tweaking the design. I really hope Hal Stockman gets his ready for STOL comp season. It will have the best power/weight ratio of all of them to date. I hope to someday have the means to build one for sure.
72 days to build this monster.... AND HOW LONG TO BUILD DEFIANCE ?????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND still waiting !! TOO much loving Jonas and not enough shedisum (being in the shed !)
A crazy machine, with amazing numbers…….both top speed and stall speed. That last take off in the video with both dudes in it looked a bit sketchy, but likely the take off distance was optically compressed by your camera lens.
Great video! I was really looking forward to seeing the full takeoff right at the end-why did it cut so abruptly at the most exciting part? It felt like we missed something big!
G,day Jonas from Sydney Australia. I like the circle crop formation in your field. The Badlands STOL outside landing gear shock absorbers, excellent design; for sure. Changed over in 30 minutes. 🌏🇦🇺
Push in the throttle and pull back on the stick, while playing pitter patter with the rudder pedals. Only thing harder for me was learning to hover in a helicopter.
If they start this thing from the back of a hangar, it'll be airborne before its out the door. These guys are not looking for any strip. All they need is a parking spot. And it's got space for a comfortable bed in the back, which is just too cool. And it's ridiculously light for its size.
Ok that plane is sick, and Jonas its awesome to see you back in a Fox flying again BUT let it be know Thee most bad a$$ Bush plane was built by a Mr. Mike Patey ONLY to beaten by the one to build it!! Soon to be taking the #1,2 and 3 spot of the Most bad a$$ bush plane built/flown under the power "He's literally adding MORE f'n power" of DRACO X!! #1 DRACO, #2 SCRAPPY, #3 DRACO X!! Seriously though, the plane is sick AF AND its really awesome to see you up in a fox again!!
Mike's got one problem. He doesn't know where or when to stop building. I mean, you do know where Scrappy got its name, right? Not much left of that, is there? This Badlands has got what it takes, and then that's it. Okay, so they tweaked it a bit here and there, but the essentials are solid. And its performance is through the roof !!
Incredibly performing STOL plane there, very very cool!!! But when looking in that baggage compartment - do I really see some chothing lust laying on top of the rudder cables that are running completeley unprotected through that baggage compartment? Seems a bit sketchy to me...
Haha true! Or Draco. I think Draco takes the the title for most Bada bush plane ever. The specs of the badlands traveler are pretty impressive though and it’s beat some the other manufacturers planes in a Stol arena.
All depends on your definition of baddest bush plane. As far as actual performance numbers, the BLT is the best. Shorter than Scrappy and Draco. Sure they are awsome with all the gadgets but for basic backcountry bush flying nothing touches the BLT. @@JonasMarcinko
Thanks, Jonas…very enjoyable video! Crazy performance of that plane! Enjoyed the familiar backdrops of the countryside and river…used to fly my speedy ppc’s (30 mph 😂) all around the area.
Impressive aircraft for sure. If I had the funds I would probably have one in my collection. Check out my latest video of Clint’s fly in for more Badlands footage.
Ooh yes I can see her and a youngster wel wel congratulations, there's a little flyer as well . I bet he's got his own paddle powered stol already 😂. U just went of my radar about 8 years ago ! Good to see you both again! ❤
Yea well, if Draco never existed you could get away saying this is the most bad ass ever. Now however I would have to say Scrappy is still the better bush plane and honestly I would take a Beaver over this thing. Its still an awesome aircraft, just not the most bad ass ever...
It’s always nice to see young people doing something with their lives. One never sees stuff like this in the news. 71 days build time. Gotta admire that.
Jared did a great job with his Badlands! We are excited to see what the future holds! Great video Jonas!
Great design it seems to go along with their great work!

Sweet airplane. Thought I was watching a Trent Palmer vid for a min.
Keep up the great work Jonas 😊 Love ya fam ❤
Love your videos and can’t wait to see more content.
That thing is nuts! Take off on a postage stamp, 24 knot stall and 130ish cruise wow! He'll give Steve Henry some competition.
Clint designed a great plane but, Uh, no…
Loved the video mate! All of it. Well put together.
Great vid Jonas! That plane is a Monsta!
Jonas, great video I want one. I hope Sylvia and the baby are good.
thanks, me too! They are doing great! Ava is learning to ski already :)
Great video man!!! 👍
BLT's are just the coolest 😁
Thanks man, totally agree! We need to fly together sometime
@ yes! that would be an absolute blast 👍🏼👍🏼
Outstanding aircraft 😊
Geez that’s some insane performance! Awesome video! Keep up the good work man! Love from the great state of Texas! 🤙🤙
A crazy machine, with amazing numbers…….both top speed and stall speed. That last take off in the video with both dudes in it looked a bit sketchy, but likely the take off distance was optically compressed by your camera lens.
OMG That thing is Incredible !!! ❤❤
What a cool capable aeroplane. Ha I want one. I loved your Kitfox Jonas but not as much now 😁. Great video 🙂👍
Thanks! 😄 I don’t blame you
What a beast!!
Holy Awesome Monster STOL airplane, Batman!!!
Looked very windy! 😄 Cool plane though, the guy has some skill too
It was so windy!
that thing is a beast. the rate of climb is crazy along with the short take off and landings
Great video! I was really looking forward to seeing the full takeoff right at the end-why did it cut so abruptly at the most exciting part? It felt like we missed something big!
Must have lost the drone...
What a great plane! I don't know of another STOL plane with that much of a speed range between low and high!
Awesome Bush plane, but we still waiting for defiance build Jonas.
Bada$$ is RIGHT! That will give Steve Henry some competition 🙂
Great video that thing is awesome
Wow !
that thing is insane
Seventy something day build time!?!?!? WOW!!!
Haha sounds like Trent’s inteo😂 good stuff man!
Every new Jonas video I want to like and subscribe. But I already did that years ago...
Wow! Neat plane
Awesome, love your videos!
thanks, Glad you like them!
Good stuff.
G,day Jonas from Sydney Australia. I like the circle crop formation in your field.
The Badlands STOL outside landing gear shock absorbers, excellent design; for sure. Changed over in 30 minutes.
🌏🇦🇺

If I had the money... But my little Challenger 2 will just have to do. Cheers from Winnipeg.
That plane is insane!
If they start this thing from the back of a hangar, it'll be airborne before its out the door. These guys are not looking for any strip. All they need is a parking spot. And it's got space for a comfortable bed in the back, which is just too cool. And it's ridiculously light for its size.
Those are really going to be the plane to beat if they can keep building them. Hope Hal gets his build before 2025 stol starts!
That’s a badass plane but I feel like Draco had that title, but I get it’s a totally different beast
Awesome!!!
what ya think JONAS??? a 3 seater BADLANDS on your shortlist for ''da family plane'' ??? now that you have a munchinkin to be totein around?
We are working towards something bigger!
Sweet!
*I'd take this BEAST over the boutique 'Scrappy' any day of the week!*
That Boutique Scrappy can carry two electric bicycles yours can't.?.?.? And Scrappy can run enough electric lights to power a small campsite.?.!.!.!..
*Who needs to own a Helicopter if you own one of these!*
on a windy day, it is a helicopter
Ok that plane is sick, and Jonas its awesome to see you back in a Fox flying again BUT let it be know Thee most bad a$$ Bush plane was built by a Mr. Mike Patey ONLY to beaten by the one to build it!!

Would put my plane up against scrappy or a Draco II in national stol competition.
Mike's got one problem. He doesn't know where or when to stop building. I mean, you do know where Scrappy got its name, right? Not much left of that, is there? This Badlands has got what it takes, and then that's it. Okay, so they tweaked it a bit here and there, but the essentials are solid. And its performance is through the roof !!
WHERE ARE THE COWBOYS.?.??.? 1:22
Sure glad your back flying , come fly my plane Jonas
That music rings a bell
It can almost stol on top of the water 😮
12:12 it was in fact not in the description
Yup it was not. go to badlands Stol .com
Happy new year.. how's you been?
Happy new year! I’ve been good. Looking forward to 2025.
Where is the -6 Turbine Sherpa?
Is that gear extended versus the other Badland's around or is it just the 35s?
The video answered my question.
Nice!!!
What's the empty weight and gross weight?? On the BLT.
Never mind, guess I should have watched the video 1st. 😂
Great Videography and topic. Thanks
Thanks Jonas, that was a nice plane. Now go shave your face. Remember, I tune into your channel for the commercials.
Incredibly performing STOL plane there, very very cool!!! But when looking in that baggage compartment - do I really see some chothing lust laying on top of the rudder cables that are running completeley unprotected through that baggage compartment? Seems a bit sketchy to me...
Great video. But songs wayyyyy to close to Trent’s
Freaks my brain out hahaha
sounds like a trent palmer intro lol
How does this compare to Mike/Mark Patey’s build?
Apparently you haven't seen Scrappy!
Haha true! Or Draco. I think Draco takes the the title for most Bada bush plane ever.
The specs of the badlands traveler are pretty impressive though and it’s beat some the other manufacturers planes in a Stol arena.
We've all seen it, not much for flying videos of it tho, unless I missed them?
All depends on your definition of baddest bush plane. As far as actual performance numbers, the BLT is the best. Shorter than Scrappy and Draco. Sure they are awsome with all the gadgets but for basic backcountry bush flying nothing touches the BLT. @@JonasMarcinko
Thanks, Jonas…very enjoyable video! Crazy performance of that plane!
Enjoyed the familiar backdrops of the countryside and river…used to fly my speedy ppc’s (30 mph 😂) all around the area.
You can't have a video titled "The Most Bada$$ Bush Plane ever" and not have Mike Patey in it
You have a point!
Impressive aircraft for sure. If I had the funds I would probably have one in my collection. Check out my latest video of Clint’s fly in for more Badlands footage.
Isn't this the guy who's been flying forever and had the east European girl and later his wife and they flew together.? 😊
Ooh yes I can see her and a youngster wel wel congratulations, there's a little flyer as well . I bet he's got his own paddle powered stol already 😂. U just went of my radar about 8 years ago ! Good to see you both again! ❤
Good to have you back!
Thanks for this but……where is your Wife?
She was staying warm inside with the baby.
@ very cool……you two done great
Yea well, if Draco never existed you could get away saying this is the most bad ass ever. Now however I would have to say Scrappy is still the better bush plane and honestly I would take a Beaver over this thing. Its still an awesome aircraft, just not the most bad ass ever...
◇♡◇
DRACO - SCRAPPY - both more "bad-ass"
cut the bullshit music and I'll come back, badass stol airplane
Music is irrelevant and distracting
Same as TP.
What a beast!
WOW!
