After watching compete from afar for all of these years, I met Steve at High Sierra for the first time this year. He is an amazingly humble, knowledgeable, and genuinely talented individual and his airplanes are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. If anyone is on the fence about building a Highlander, do it. And, get your kit from Steve as he really does support what he sells and his parts and know-how are second to none.

Sarah you are so good at your story flow. What a great edit. It really feels like what I remember of the weekend the way you put the video together. Anyone watching that hasn’t made High Sierra, can just watch your video At least they’ll get a feel of how cool it was there. Love it. Love it.

Steve, you are an inspiration to so many. Thank you for demonstrating what following your dreams looks like! The spoiler fix may be to interlock them with the throttle. Full throttle releases the spoiler lever up-lock.

Steve, I knew that you will be the first using spoilers. You're just so straight forward. Same with the tires and the forward shifted main gears. Damn I'd so damn like to be a passenger one time. Next stop: prearmed spoilers. 😂❤

Steve- great video. I'm not a pilot, I'm a machinist and fabricator, so i sometimes think really weird thoughts....the spoilers. Could you add an indicator light on your panel so you don't forget they are deployed? Also, when you use them, if you always deploy them full on, maybe use a solenoid type actuator and add the switch to your stick?
@michaelspunich727311 ай бұрын

@rgvieira-od3ve11 ай бұрын
Steve- What do your spoilers do to your plane’s stall speed? Do you need to approach & touch down at a faster air speed when spoilers are deployed to make sure you don’t stall aloft?
@SteveHenry11 ай бұрын
Yes, the spoilers definitely increase the stall speed. I have to land faster when they are deployed but that’s OK when doing Stoldrag. I would never use them if I was trying to actually land slow and short.
@DarylOster11 ай бұрын
@SteveHenry what about deploying spoilers once on the ground do increase brake force?

Because Steve's prop is at an angle pointing up when he launches does that give him an advantage in STOL? Not sure what the technical name is for the angle of the prop when the plane is on land.
