bumfire Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) There is 2 videos kicking about the net where a cub takes off in like a few feet, probably like the OP's video ( I havent seen the OP's video yet but I suspect its similar ) and then lands in even less space, he touches the ground and then comes to a complete stop within 5 feet, I was like wtf no way. But the cub can do some cool shit. It was something very similar to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laFmA9bOn54 But the landing was less and the aircraft was red if I recall.

aaron886 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Usually the crazy videos you see are STOL-modified cubs for bush flying. Slots, slats, vortex generators, trailing edge flaps and drooping ailerons, engines that shoot nitrous... they're insane.
