a Cessna 150 doesn't even start a ground roll until 725ft. at 55 knots with zero headwind. Even with a 20 knot headwind you there is no way your 150 has enough power to go from 0-35 knots in 30-40 feet. Nice try though.
TO & landing is about 50 feet with one person and no head wind. Actually, even with gross weight, if you have enough head wind, say, 25 kts, you can have zero rotation. With winds over 30 kts, you can fly it backwards.
I just got my Ultralight license and was thinking of buying an ultralight (used if possible) but at a very low price...just exactly where am I looking at?
I co-own a CH701 and flew at the spot where the video was taken. It's easy to take off that short once you know how. Crosswind landings are a bit more tricky, but as of 15 kts crosswind you can just land 30 to 45 degrees to the runway, keep the nose up, and there is almost no roll distance, so you don't even get to the other runway edge.
Ugly? could be... but I sit inside and don't see it, just have all the fun!
@drtodd22 It's a kit plane, engine and about 500 hrs of your sweat and 43k you can have a plane. you cant even touch a ready made plane from any mfg for less than 150k
In a flight review, Sport Pilot magazine wrote: "I've seen airplanes that could be flown through a hangar, but I think a really good pilot could fly a STOL CH 701 into a hangar, do a 180, and fly back out. The performance is truly that spectacular."
Awesome!!

What does a 701 kit cost?

Under US$ 14,000 for the kit, plus engine and instruments. Great value! That's why there are so many out there.
