Cub drivers in Alaska are the guys that pioneered the big tires, initially called tundra tires, then Air streaks and a couple other names over the years. There was also another brand of Tundra tires called Gar Aero's, which used adaptor rings that bonded to the Cleveland wheels with glue, to make the wheels a larger diameter. The Gar Aero's were just much larger aviation tires that had the tread rubber cut down to an acceptable weight level for a super cub.
Hi Captain Valerie, that was the shortest take off i have ever seen. Very intresting
So much fun, someday I’ll get there and get to Oshkosh. Thanks as always.
Wow! he should remove the pilot's seat and install a saddle with stirrups, Thanks for this great video!

Steve is well spoken and very enjoyable to listen to. Glad you brought him on the channel. Never knew why back country planes frequently use smoot tires and did not about locking tail wheels. Cool video.

That is an amazing plane with an amazing pilot. Thank you Valerie and Eric for doing the interview. And thank you Steve for all the answers with great detail. I am sure he must have answered the questions a thousand times while being at Sun'n'fun. Greetings from Germany, Andy.

Cool interview Val with Steve. I have always wondered if states have rules on where you can land in the mountains being in Colorado. That would be a totally neat way to get into the high country without having to hike. Bush planes have always fascinated me and their ability to land just about anywhere. Thanks for the video, look forward to the next one. Have you ever tried this type of flying?

I’ve not tried backcountry flying yet but that’s on our bucket list. Trent Palmer talked about his experience dealing with rules in some of his videos. It was very interesting. I would still get with your local FSDO.

I have to rain on the parade. Mountain flying requires a lot of skill. I took a check out ride in Boulder, Co. to rent their Citabria. The CFI, conducting the check out, competed with his Pitts S1 and admitted to not being a mountain flyer. Those winds out there can get serious. There`s been winds over 200mph at the Rocky Flats. That`s true and reported from my Dad who worked there.
Is so cool meter
Great information from Steve. The stol is fun to watch. They are doing it at Reno now and it’s really popular. Loved the video!
That’s a nice airplane Val
very interesting , thanks

Always exciting to see the short takeoff and landing experts do their thing. I noticed listening to the questions and answers here, the audio levels varied quite a lot, I wonder if you were using a noise cancelling microphone setup.

That is absolutely amazing. You probably got some new STOL ideas for your Baron LOL.
You're gonna have to fly my Highlander while here for the formation clinic in June ;o)

That was the shortest takeoff i've ever seen.
G, day Capt Valerie from Sydney, Australia. Watching closely, STOL pilot Steve: with the 1000hp Yamaha. On take-off, he seems to bounce on the tail wheel, then drop onto the large Alaskan tyres to instantly increase the AoA. Can you see more clearly? 🌏🇭🇲

Correct fast aoa is key. He has a lever inside.
Let Steve talk!
Vous avez raison de vous intéresser à ce bel avion, avec lui, à FD08, plus besoin de la piste, vous pouvez décoller du jardin 😮 ... Ses freins sont français, Beringer, fabriqués à Gap, magnifique aéroport 🤩 , incrusté dans les Alpes, approche difficile, au ras des cailloux, juste ce qu'il faut au talent de Captain Valérie... A une heure de vol de chez moi... 😘
I have been following Steve Henry for a while !! He is beyond COOL ,Capt. Valerie you ROCK ,Eric for the love of God please STOP talking over the guest that is trying to inform and answer the questions ,very difficult to try and listen to this video!!!

Why don't they remove the rear wheel and shave the tail so it can squat down deeper and angle higher? should be possible to take off without any wheel roll. Straight up.
Boring !
