Good morning from Minnesota! I know the owners at Just Aircraft, I have worked the booth at Oshkosh with them many times, outstanding company and customer support! You can't go wrong with a Highlander!

"That's a little nerve racking"...coming from the guy who lands on the face of cliffs 😂

Very cool plane! Thanks Gary! This was a nice teaser, too. Can't wait to see what you get up to in the future, Ryan!

That is a really nice Highlander Gary! Thanks for the flight around the patch. Ryan, this looks like the perfect airplane for you to use for bush flying. Thanks Gary and Ryan, great video.

Bearhawk LSA is my favourite.

first off all, he has vortex generators on top of the leading edge of wing. AND People ALWAYS confuse slats with leading edge flaps. He did not add a Slat. Its actually a Fixed leading edge flap. In other words, he added more fixed camber. A Slat is a separate moving flight control that when deployed, produces a "temporary slot" to allow air to pass through. Like on an F-4E.

I saw you filming the interview (I actually walk through frame early on) but didn't know it was you. Cool to come across this now! What a blast Osh and the Ultralight field was.

This next chapter will be exciting to watch. Thanks for your content.

Oh Ryan, this was wonderful, brought back memories when I learnt to fly a Cessna 152- a hundred years ago- a different lifetime , it seemed pretty cosy in there,

Watching you in this Bush Plane, kinda reminds me of the original, Wright Brothers experimental trials in the discovery of flight control. Full Flaps at 38 knots makes flying at tree top level a very realistic birds eye experience in flying, “Nap of the Earth,” type flying but then again from your, PNG experience you already know this. Can you imagine going only, 40 to 45 knots over the trees in, PNG? The only thing that I might be concerned about is the sometimes turbulence coming off the Mountain slopes. They can put you on the ground unintentionally fast. Enjoyed this unexpected subject broadcast. Aloha. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you

Thank you for another great video. Somehow I don’t think you’ll have trouble flying anything after where you have been flying for years! All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Nice video my friend. Thank you for sharing. *Like4*

Thanks for visiting

Had an micro lite license. Lots of fun. Stalled at about 18. The approach is totally different from the conventional so had issues converting back to a 172!

Thanks Ryan for the video.

Nice aircraft for sure. I got the pleasure last year of watching Hal in Lawnmower and all the other STOL guys at Whiteside County last year and it was incredible.

Nice plane - good opportunity to see first hand what it is like.

The Highlander is a good Bush plane...if you have flown a 152 the dash is similar. The plane is light, easy to land and easy take-off. The tail landing takes some practice but you will like it after you get used to it.

Beautiful man and smart! 👏👏👏

🙂Thank you, Ryan.

I ran up 1200 hours in an Aeronca 7AC before giving it up for long distance bike riding, which turned out to actually be more interesting after you've long perfected everything you can do with an Aeronca several times over. If you're actually using flying to help other people, that's another matter, but for yourself it's not a deep hobby.

Lovely video!

You should get a Zenith - like a squished Caravan. HA!

Was that a seizure helmet the gentleman was wearing? Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

Never flown in any of the Just aircraft, just an early model Kitfox. Fun plane and miss landing slow. Our Velocity touched down around 65 knots. Also we met Gary at AirVenture this year as well.

Nice Fly WOW 🤠👍

quite a fun airplane! thanks for sharing !!!

Great video - looking forward to seeing you fly with Backcountry182 sometime!

Wow,so cool😎 !👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

that plane looks sick with nice landing gear.

Cleetus mcfarland just bought one. Has some interesting videos on it.

I was waiting for him to give you the stick.

Damm I love a few hours flying with you, your a great inspiration 🇦🇺

Hey Ryan. Got suggestion for you! Get w/ youtuber Trent Palmer and his FREEDOM FOX Either interview him or let him interview you. Hes like the Kit Fox expert. It would be great be great documentarian content. Help you find a plane and accomplish your goal for promotion of your mission. Its a natural match. He is friends with Mike Patey, the Scrappy guy, too Thanks, Bob

The Badlands Traveler is my dream bush plane. No slats, or VG's, super low stall, yet cruise at 115mph indicated.

I have a few tips for ya in learning tailwheel "flying".........lots of experience in many taildraggers, both instructing and flying. Including the DC3.....remember this: Airplane in the air all is fair. Airplane on the ground, round and round????????

Nice very nice...................

Thanks!

Thanks Sandy! I appreciate the support

If he's complaining that Ryan is making the plane heavier then he wouldn't even get off the ground with me in it

going to be a shock going slow and low but hopefully this Bush Plane is Fun

Nice little plane. I like watching Steve Henry's videos in his. Of course Steve's is very modified compared to this one. Really enjoy watching these videos especially the landings.

Love this sort of content these days. The older PNG flight videos you’re posting are cool, but somehow I find myself a lot less interested knowing that you’re not there anymore.

Looks like a lot more landing opportunities with this. Are you going back to New Guinea?

New sub! Liked ✌️😉🤩🤭

pilot forgot about extra weight on takeoff. was trying to show the marginal takeoff and had to scramble for that full throttle.

Just Aircraft are purpose built for bush flying Kitfox can be modified heavily to bush fly such as Trent Palmers.

I’d like to see how these stol pilots in the usa would go in the high density altitude of Papua at MAUW

Looks like a fun airplane if you don’t want to go anywhere, but I prefer something more practical. I fly a Flight Design CTLSi. Have tundra gear for grass strips. Recently added E-Prop. Cruise at 123 knots at 4.5 gallons of car gas per hour. Have not found a more efficient aircraft.

You will have over 100 grand in a Highlander before it is finished.That is not cheap at all.

MBP, do you ever come into Nampa? Steve Henry, the king of all Highlanders (and arguably the king of all bush pilots...) is based there. I live next to the field and see the Yee-Ha all the time.

Maybe consider the Savana 701 with balloon tyres, v popular here. Thanks for the excellent png vids

Know the WORST kind of passenger? Another crewmember, especially pilot…lol Ex USAF C-130 loadmaster here. 😎

Do you have a tail wheel endorsement? Does this have a 912 engine?

Which Rotax did this have?

I've been out of commission for awhile, last I seen you was in the bush working,did you retire?

Gary should of let you take control for a bit ???

How much for that kind of plane ?

What is ballpark insurance with low hours on this aircraft?

Why does no one who flys these planes wear a parachute? Is it to low to the ground or do they just figure they are dead anyway if the motor quits?

These planes can fly so slowly without stalling that the risk is really minimized. It’s super sleek, fast planes that can be hazardous because their stall speed can be over 100 mph.

2 stroke??

So will you go back to PNG or are you on to something bigger.
