Steep grass strip, good to be flying again, dusting the rust off, and visiting my favorite strips.
Ski jump, near Onalaska WA

Nice work.

When landing uphill on a short strip part of the key to success is psychology; knowing in your heart and mind that you will slow down, fast, without brakes. Indeed often a lot of power is needed to taxi after rollout.

This also applies to longer humped runways (Catalina is a good example) where people screw up good landings being psyched out they don't have enough runway when they really do.

Also people underestimate the drag of tall wet grass and it's slowing effect on landing; AND it's immense drag on takeoff. Hence the need to pop off the runway at low speed and crawl up to Vx in low ground effect.

I find matching descent rate to falling runway on a downslope very hard to do and you nailed it, of course!

Did you go with the low compression Pponk and keep the 2 blade MT? Looks like it got off the ground very short.

What Mountain Doctor said and also nice rudder only longitudinal alignment adjustment on short final. Using aileron on final can funk up a regular approach. Here it can hook a wing.

Good job.

Low compression nickel Cylinders and new blades with nickel leading edge in the MT prop.

Big improvement in take off, climb and cruise, the airplane its even more fun now! Cruise at 155 mph and land at 50mph or less.

Looks like a fun strip!

Man I love your videos, The only thing that entertains me as much as backwoods flying myself is watching others do it ,and you demonstrate some AWSOME skills even with the third wheel on the wrong end!
Thanks for the posting.
