Here's a couple other good ones.

I embedded it for you in the post.

To do this, just copy and paste the "embed" link from the YouTube page.

Just read the title again, winds got nothing to do with it. You just pull the draw out and file alphabetically or numerically.

Well SP, Here I thought that the Huskey was a better performer than the Super Cub with that footage.

Stir, stir

Be safe, Bub

This is as short as I could find.

Now that was inpressive. I enjoy watching those type videos. I'm sure the Husky pilot was in the 250+ pound range and the Super Cub pilot was say 120 or so.

Thus making the Husky a better load hauler.

Where's that bigger spoon?

Be safe, Bub

This one'll get in with a full load where not many of the others can.

Fishers of Men,

I am unable to load this clip? Not sure what's up beside being techno challenged?

Wouldn't load at work or home?

Maybe just a link.

Be safe , Bub

The Super Cub takeoff and J-3 landing video were made at Gulkana, AK. I was there that spring. The wind was blowing pretty hard there, as it often is in Gulkana. That Super Cub is experimental, had a nitrous engine, and a number of other mods that most folks wouldn't put on their "going somewhere" airplane. The J-3 had a number of mods as well.

A stock single engine Otter, with seven persons aboard, PLUS the pilot, and gas to go to Tok, AK, left about the same time as these videos were made. He wasn't really in the competition, but......

His takeoff run: 88 feet. WITH seven pax and pilot, gas and reserve. A stock part 135 airplane.

It was a little breezy,

That's strange. It plays from here. Here's the link.

You'll have to turn your volume up quite a bit.

Fisherman,

Thanks for that video link. Not sure where or what archive you drug that up from. After viewing I would say a Helio looks as if it would be the consumate STOL airplane. That is one video that I really enjoyed. Just amazed at the turn right after takeoff.

Makes me even more sad now watching the Helio here at BNO melt into the tarmack.

Thanks again, Bub

Ever seen any of the Pilatus Porters work? Ugly as sin, but they get the job done. Way more airplane than I could afford though.

Yeah. There's one north of here just sitting on the tarmack. It's owned by a lawyer who doesn't fly it and prefers his 182. Of course, we don't have a lot if short grass fields here in SE Texas.

Last time I saw it, it was in great shape tied down there. I wish I could afford to make him an offer.

I work on Pilatus PC-12's a lot which are a great plane. I have never seen a PC-6 Porter in person but is my favorite plane to fly in flight simulator. I fly it from Lukla to Mt. Everest base camp. I think it's one of the only aircraft that can do the mission.

It's a lot of fun and challenging with real weather. You learn about dealing with density altitude even in the sim.

I don't have the numbers with me but look up Lukla on the web.

-Todd Giencke

Lukla is at 9,380'MSL and has a 1,500' paved strip on the side of a mountain.

Everest base camp is at 17,600'MSL and can be over 20,000'DA during the climbing season.
