STOL Cub

For those interested in an experimental Cub with leading edge slats look
at this short report. I've seen this plane fly up close and it has to
be seen to be believed.

Must top out at 40mph.

Very interesting. I wonder how it's performance and price compares
with the Zenith 701.

nice what's the takeoff stats?

Looks like it could use more horsepower, but that is a short landing (to say the least!)...

Explains why the Storch has such ungainly landing gear...

Unreal, especially the landing!

It looks like he would get better short take-off, if he got gear legs a
little taller. That looks like the only thing limiting how soon he can pull
up.

I was impressed with the slow steep turn, too. When he started, I was
sitting here saying, "oh no, he's not going to...... Oh Yes, HE IS ! ! ! "

Wow, I thought surely that turn was going to end in a very bad pile of
aluminum.

Impressive.

Anyone know about what cruise speeds he sees?

It far outperforms the Zenith and costs several times the Zenith also.

I just saw the video posted by Mike I, thanks Mike. I'm very
impressed. It is a much better looking plane than the 701, but
costing several times as much will be the deciding factor for me.

My credit is limited, I just found the video for Newp's still photos.
Heck... I fly the East Coast where the typical wilderness signs say "Don't
walk on grass", so to me that Riverbed landing stuff is just as fake as the
Moon landings.
