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.

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

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.

Know what you mean, I'm here in the East Coast also, Maryland to be
exact.

That's a state law here. First all water, above and below ground,
belongs to the state and is therefore public. It is not possible to own
a lake here. You can own all the land around it but the state always
owns the water. Second, all the land up to the high water mark is
always public. That's how we can go out and land on the riverbank, it's
always public land.
