Build this guy a runway

But that would take the fun out of it.

That guy must have a hellofa power to weight ratio. He's taking off and landing in what 200'? Some serious piloting there, isn't there? He makes it look easy.

I'd bet the star of that footage is a highly modified PA-18 from CubCrafters. 180hp and lots of parts replaced with carbon fiber components drop the stall speed to something like 31 mph from the 42 mph of the original Super Cub.

The guy on the stick isn't any slouch either.

Looks like some of the stuff they pull on Flying Wild Alaska. Lots of boring passenger transport stuff on that show, but get the owner out alone and he pulls moves like these.
