Fantastic ,
Is it some kind of competition ?
Its really STOL at its best

Wow what a headwind.
Must be at least 60 knots .
Its really difficult to taxi in such winds ..
Good video though
The wind does not seem to be too stiff as either people or equipment does not seem to be affected at all. For a plane (even a light airplane to VTO like that there has to be real real stiff head wind
hey what is the name of the model ??? i like huge tires 8-) n nice takeoff
sahil
Agree, not sure that there is any much wind, long back in 2000 at the AeroIndia show at Bangalore a similar aircraft was flown that took off within a very short distance and did some crazy loops very low to the ground.
That's one giant slow flier ;D

The Youtube description says :
QuoteNice clip of a Super Cub landing on a patch of ground about the size of a ping-pong table. Of course the headwind and up-slope helped. Beautiful shot of the full use of the controls though. Lots of rudder inputs and he retracts the flaps (which include drooping-ailerons or flaperons if you will) just after he comes to a stop to kill the lift. Then during takeoff when the airspeed is right the flaps are extended to "elevate" him off the ground. Looks like a lot-o-fun!! Nice machine with an extended range belly fuel tank and Monster Truck tires..........
Looks like flaperons etc are being put to good use !
really a great pilot.

Its just not the wind alone :
1. The Plane is a STOL one
2. the Landing strip has elevation like aircraft carrier's ski-jump ramp.
Still amazing feat!!!
