Valdez 2016 video ( with a question )

Can anyone tell what the make and model is of this aircraft at 2:04 in the video? Leading edge slats sure made it get off quick.
This video has already been linked in the "Valdez 172???" thread #19238, thanks to "MountainMatt".

Looks like a Just Aircraft SuperSTOL to me.

Yes it is, he spent the whole weekend flying up and down the far side of the runway doing multiple take offs and landings with each pass. It became quite annoying after awhile, having to watch someone have way too much fun that is! =P~

Impressive aircraft for sure, I intend to read up on it. Reminds me of a mini Helio in a way.

Here is another link for you. Same Just Aircraft SuperSTOL. The video was shot by Robby Pederson as he flies the pattern. The 8 minute video using a strut mounted camera is of the actual take off and go around at Valdez . The end sequence when he lands in 27 feet is unreal. The strut cam also shows his feet deftly working the rudder pedals as he lands. Pretty interesting. The scenery is stunning.
