Reminds me of flying gliders:) I was always taught when landing try and keep it in the air as long as possible to an almost stall:)

The pilots have MAD skills and the planes are just awesome! Now I want to build a STOL!

I love the Blue Cub that I made. It's fantastic in calm conditions and it does handle some windier days, as well. I've not actually practiced any STOL but I have seen it do some very short take offs and, on landings, the run-off usually isn't very much.
