Deadstick Takeoff
A general forum for anything related to flying the backcountry. Please check first if your new topic fits better into a more specific forum before posting.
I just came across this last night. It's one of the craziest takeoff's I've seen. I'm sure some of you have already seen it.

Realized gravity thrust of altitude. Since 75% of engine failure landings touch down half way down an adequate landing area, dead stick landings should be practiced. Tell this guy he can shut the engine down while flying.
Kids, don't try this at home.

Steve Henry is a great guy and a class act. I have personal knowledge of him going way above and beyond to help fellow back country pilots in need. With Steve it's all about high performance, pilot skills, having fun and helping his fellow aviator. Steve also happens to be a Just Aircraft dealer. There is no question in my mind if the time comes for me to buy a Just Highlander or Super STOL kit I will buy it from Steve.
