Well obviously you haven't seen their latest video's. Miller and Habersetzer are still flying the custom Maule and 77 super cub, respectively. Half their video content is doing less than 300' one ways.
Perhaps your in the wrong forum. FrontCountry pilot is were you need to be. They got threads like, Secret wazs to navigate the taxi way maze at metro airports, and How to cope with flap failure when your staring down a 3500' strip in a Cherokee.


Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

Question for Sidewinder: How short should you trim the grass on your "Backcountry Strip?" Assuming 31" Alaskan Bushwheels and a $100,000 Cub.
Also, what is a Cherokee?


Hey now, those Cherokee's are good starter birds ;)
