Re: Uphill landings, downhill take offs.

I always enjoy the smooth flying in these videos, and seeing the uber practical 182 being put through its paces. You make it look deceptively easy, I expect getting that consistent spot landing requisa lot of practice.

With two up and half tanks and no DA issues, would you be comfortable operating out of 300m grass?

Thanks, am I right your 182P is quite stock? You may have a link to what STOL mods you have added?

Found it :)
