Highlander 2.5 foot takeoff, Steve Henry 

Thank you Bryan! I love that part as well!

Thank you! Me too :)

This lot of wind makes just he has extra lift under the wings. Without that wind his take off shouldn't be that short.

@@daviddou1408 exactly, and the wind is air moving onto your wings :D

I love to fly fish in the worst weather. A bit challenging, and turns all other weather into pieces of cake. Maybe it's the same for plane-nerds.?

@@CONEHEADDK Rains the best for fishing.

@@JoeCnNd That's a myth. If you are bad at hiding, the fish see you above the water. When it rains, the surface is impossible for them to see through. That's one of the reasons, that untrained anglers can have more luck in the rain. Also that most people go home, so you have access to more undisturbed water. And sometimes rain hits insects in the air, resulting in them landing on the water, where using flies that imitate them, can be effective. But if you know, what you're doing, the best weather is any weather. I just love casting (fighting the storm) bcz I'm almost always alone, and that mastering storms makes all other days pieces of cake. I really barely care about catching any more, as long as I know, the fish are there. I'm a nerd. :D

🤣

In Wyoming they lift off in their own footprint. aviationhumor.net/wyoming-wind-sock/

@@SteveHenry You might enjoy the jokes on that site Steve.

i have seen ultralights fly backwards.

Wind Craft Quads; We had a jump-pilot do similar in the ferocious winds at Livermore, CA c. 1970, Johnny.........(a member of the WWII 'Silkworm Club'). He hovered our empty Aeronca Champ overhead and, ever so slowly, got it to back up. Parenthetically, that little plane, stripped of anything unnecessary for skydiving, could haul four jumpers wearing the heavy gear of that era and the pilot.

John Williams, biked, and planes are the best.

John Williams ur right

Amen! Lol

The Danny Macaskill of planes

Thanks 😊

@@SteveHenry ive heard of a plane flying slower than airspeed so it appears to fly backwards... Fiestler Storch I think...reckon you can?

Fieseler*

Same here! I showed my buddy the 6 foot last night. Then i saw someone upload a 25ft take off video and me and him were laughing like omg thats long compared to the 6.....then i see the 2.5. Sweet jesus

but highlander cannot go mach 2 and carry 8 tons of bombs

Dennis Chen: but a thousand of them could do a good job of overwhelming an enemies defences if used with some skill.

Unless the enemy had 22lr guns,LOL!

@@PhilbyFavourites lol, that enemies air defence is pretty third world if it can easily be overwhelmed by a bunch of highlanders on fat tires

@@billythekid3234 They could fly so low, that they were hard to hit, without shooting your own cities to trash.

At the end of "Back to the Future"! And the beginning of"Back to the Future 2"!...lol!

they float in airshows all the time . you ever been to one??? i got to see an airshow everysingal 4 years when my father was in the airforce when i was a child.

Sideways.

And take off lol

I really love my family being involved!

I am so happy to be part of this!

Juan Brown. Cool.

Thanks Cory!😊

Thank you!

🤣

I think the takeoff probably is, but the landing was longer than the world record. The record is 'bout 9 feet.

There’s always going to be a few haters. Oh well

Thanks 😊

Thank you, that would be incredible to have that much wind that was steady and not all gusty like it always is if it blows here. Although our gusty wind does make a fun challenge. 😊

Oh Thank You again for the fun show you put on........ the flight school that taught me was Compton Aviation, Compton, Cal.( 1978/9 and almost every day we had a nice trade wind come up... I watch your short T.O. and every time I'm astounded that that plane JUMPS off the ground............... cool ! FLY LOTS... FLY SAFE.

Me too!

Thanks Brandon!

Thanks Lloyd, I do have a lot of fun!

@@SteveHenry Without doubt, buddy. Hope all well with you and your loved family.

The wind was a major factor. But it's not a competition--just for fun.

Thank you, and you are welcome!😊

Thanks, I hope I do too, it’s December 4th and 5th in Florida.

It definitely is fun and exciting!

Thanks 😊

I think you’re right but I just didn’t want to hear arguments so I just said 2 1/2 feet.

Well, almost😁

It is RSTOL. Rediculously Short Takeoff and Landing.

Well, AVTOL to be fair. Almost Vertical Take Off Landing

Thanks 😊

You know I just have to pinch myself a lot of days because I can hardly believe that I actually get to do this!

@@SteveHenry Well then rock it out and have the most fun you can... I'm sure there is something after this life, but this one is guaranteed so it brings me joy to see you doing your thing! Cheers!

Even fully loaded this aircraft will land and takeoff much shorter than most. I love my family being a part of it as well!😊

Thanks, It really is an amazing aircraft.

Yeah I’ve been watching and waiting for the right day.

Lol😂

Drag-N-Fly

I’m glad you liked it!😊

🤣

It’s going to be hard for me to beat, I think I would need a little smoother wind to do any better.

It is!
