You are all missing the point, this is a maximum performance demonstration!

That first landing was incredible.

What's the cruise speed and gph?

[666driver]

This aircraft is powered by a 180hp engine and cruises faster and uses more fuel than a standard C150. I don't know the particulars.

152 short field takeoff is with 10 degrees flap according to the POH

[666driver]

This is not a 152, with 180hp engine, it could take off with full flaps. Max performance t/o uses 30 deg.

I suspect that the pilot in this video has considerably more experiance than skysnet. The purpose of the video was to demonstrate the maximum performance of this "STOL" modified aircraft to clear obsticles as well as t/o and landing roll.

@skysnet You are thinking of a soft-field takeoff. On a soft field you want to get the weight off of the wheels as soon as you can. Then you accelerate in ground effect until Vx or Vy and climb out at that. For a short field, you hold the brakes until max power is developed, check your gauges, release the brakes and then you rotate just slightly before normal Vr and then climb out at Vx.

@skysnet You are thinking of a soft field take off.

@skysnet dude when you do a soft field you stay in ground effect, you got em backwards

[katieellis11]

What plane is this?

[novsierra]

@666driver I own a 150 with a stock 0-200. It also has the STOL kit on it and it really makes a huge difference. That combined with a 180 horse engine gives you this rocket ship.

Almost a tail strike on that first takeoff...

[ColdSHeep]

@skysnet I believe that you are thinking of soft field takeoffs.

[maurjul]

@skysnet ur confusing short field takeoff with a soft field takeoff. when u do a short field u pretend as tho the rwy is short and there is and obstacle to clear at the end. with a soft field u just wanna get off the ground quickly as possible to protect the gear then stay in ground effect while u gain airspeed.

@666driver You see. I dont know too much about the specs of the plane and I dont care too much for those other "pilots" trolling the vid. I WANNA FLY IT MYSELF! Cool vid dude.

[TheNatedog24]

dang nice my problem is that i drop the throttle too much and slam the ground.
