Impressive for a C 150, but not quite a Zenith :)

[MrAirplanenutz]

@sche1nz but it wants to be a zenith. haha

The plane has the STOL kit (one can see the strake fences on the wings) which also includes flap/aileron extension and deflection, sometimes a climb prop, as well as 150 or even 160 HP Lycoming 0-320 engine variants. Pluses --plane climbs like a homesick Angel. & (with normal prop) cruises at 125-130 mph.  Minuses - limited duration without long range tanks or with long range tanks, always near or over gross weight with full fuel. Also, extra weight in nose requires placarding for "no spins"

I Mean 1:38

That's the first time I've ever seen an airplane do a 360 to taxi back to the end of the runway after landing.

Nice ground run for takeoff!! Must have shaved 10 feet from a normal 150!

[geojet707]

Sure, all you need is a sling shot!!

@phantom60504 err, where is this reference you found saying the wings had helium in them? I have never heard of such a thing and I have been around aircraft for literally decades. I seriously doubt there is a mod for the Cessna that involves the addition of helium.

[phantom60504]

I read a book about Aviation, and that's a Cessna Super STOL, a modified cessna 150 able to cut the original 150's takeoff roll in half. It's wings are filled with helium, and flaps upgraded. Pretty cool stuff.

[PhrynosomaTexas]

That is pretty awesome, but still about double the takeoff roll I have seen from some Zenith's.

put a bigger engine, extend wings, make lighter some how
