And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
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.
Wilga, a strange Polish bird.

Capable of considerably less, with the right guy on the stick.
I have seen competition where guys would land in a parking lot. Just stall it and it drops right on the wheels.
