    1. Nope. This is a beast with 260hp but built like a tank. Heavy. Used for ag spraying and as a glider tug. Slow but climbs well. New it might be off in 500 empty, but most will need about 750ft empty. With a loaded spray tank mounted plan on 1500ft. Those 50ft'ers are up in Alaska. Really cold day plus a headwind. Carbon Cub or home-built type. Great for bush flying. Closes thing to flying a TH-55.

    2. Try more like under 100' landing.

      Capable of considerably less, with the right guy on the stick.

  3. I have seen competition where guys would land in a parking lot. Just stall it and it drops right on the wheels.
