BEST STOL, 400hp, 92" Prop Sun n Fun w/Steve Henry

Great video! 🎉

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Thanks! Do you happen to know the empty weight on this?

[@foesfly3047]

I fly a slick, little fiberglass sport plane that cruises at 180 MPH TAS with only 120hp, above 10k and that’s my thang, but the kinda people I see at the center of the STOL community are all, so cool, likable, generous and fun. We enjoy the social and family atmosphere at their events. One day Steve might have to sell me a Highlander kit.

Really looking forward to seeing YeeHaw #8 at the Wayne, NE STOL Drag at the end of May! Who else has had a chance to watch Steve fly any of his awesome aircraft?

[@captarmour]

how do I buy one? how much do they cost?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

The basic kit I believe starts at 29k, Check out www.wildwestaircraft.com for more info.

@@Blaircraft.Engines what about the basic engine directly from Yamaha?

[@captarmour]

@@Blaircraft.Engines excuse my manners, thanks very much for your prompt reply!

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

@@captarmour Not sure about the engine either, but @Steve Henry with Wild West Aircraft will have all the answers!

[@captarmour]

what about DUC props?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Not sure if Steve has tried DUC props. Do you have experience with them?

[@captarmour]

@@Blaircraft.Engines a viking aircraft video highlighted that they behave somewhat like a constant speed prop when tested on their honda engines, which I found fascinating.

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

@@captarmour Interesting for sure…

[@ConcreteBombDeep]

So Steve is running a much higher power to weight than his competitors? and why don't all STOL planes have slats?

[@Blaircraft.Engines]

Several people are adding slats if in the experimental exhibition category. However staying certified, it makes it more difficult to get approval. They would help most aircraft.
