How long does your airplane need to clear the trees? Stinson STOL
Well, last time we went over how to take off short. Once you set up your plane and practice how much runway will you need? This is how the bush pilots I know figure out where they can land. STOL flying is really limited by takeoff distance, you can always land shorter than you can takeoff. In this video I go over what I do to keep current and figure out how short of a runway I'm willing to use. This is set up taking off over trees since that is what we do in the mid-west, out west, and so many other places we fly. I use the Stinson 108 and find out my distance. 00:00 Introduction 00:32 The story why 01:38 The questions asked 04:01 Normal short field 04:38 Tail High 05:25 Tail high extend the flaps 06:15 Tail low 07:49 The results 09:21 Comments on each style 11:01 The real answer to how much runway 12:07 The end
