If I combined every flight I ever flew into one amazing ride, it would still be pale in comparison to just one of your deadstick adventures. Simply epic flying.

Listen to the audio only. It is NSFW

Speechless. Great flying, gliding, rolling, stoping, turning, with tail just hanging. Fantastic!!!

Excellent Airmanship!!

Great flying!

It's a Highlander. I sell the kits, and I've built 2 of them so far.

My brother asked me the other day how you land a plane going uphill...so now all I need to do is show him the video. Thanks for the ride.

Thank you, if nobody thought like you do about my flying then I know that I would be taking it much too easy.

I thought the title was wrong until I saw the last take-off. Really amazing!

This is freaking awesome!!

Little room for error, but when you're this talented, you really know you're alive. I've had some pretty interesting experiences too on my PPL journey!

Crazy. Dangerous, but. Wonderful, Marvelous, Incredibly fun for the gifted pilot who performs this. Great. Congrats to both; The Captain AND The producer of the video.Thank You people.

That looks awesome, and the dude is clearly enjoying that :-)

Excellent ! What a life ! I am very envious.

Amazing!

Most excellent. I'm a pilot and did lots of mountain flying, but nothing like that. Keep it up and I'll have to buy the video.

Holy smoke, and you got Trent into bush flying.

This is about the coolest thing I've ever seen.

very cool!!!

Excellent!

I often see what degree the slope is and sometimes I step them off to see just how long they are. Mostly I just do this stuff so much in my plane that I have a pretty accurate idea of what is possible.

this is amazing!!

Dead stick takeoff? First time i ever came across that:-) So weird to actually do a dead stick takeoff:-).. Well, got a good adrenalin rush of that video. Great stuff!

Thats just fantastically insane - would love some training !!

finaly some one back in the real world of death traps and the fun it takes to do it ..skeatesy1

my dads favorite plane and now mine, love the capabilities

The last line on the video said it all. 'Oh that's wild' !

By the sound of it you were having an obscene amount of fun. ;)

Flying as an art form. Kinda like the Bob Ross of flying 0:07 "Just let it down, just like that, yea" haha. I want to go and do it now! Great flying!

First time I saw an airplane to fly it as a paraglider...... WOW great video and Aviator !!!

Very skilled and brave flying.

Never seen a plane being driven as an ATV :o

I think it is much tougher than a Zenith, has way more baggage capacity, etc.. I don't like nosewheels off airport either for several reasons.

oh god, i wish that was my hobby, living the dream man.

Incredible.. Wish you a safe flying.. Be safe... Hopefully I meet you some time in my lifespan.

Dude, that was the sickest video ever!!! Tell me more about the aircraft!

Awesome plane, so small and light

This guy really knows his plane. Cool vid.

This guy knows that plane inside out. Cool!

Oh man that looks like fun.

Beautiful

Good stuff. Nice talking to you at the Kitfox Fly-In.

What a Pilot. Brilliant.

Uhhhh unbelievable man you got some serious skills....yowza, I would fly with you anyday. This is the first dead stick takeoff I have seen...hard to watch...but incredible...stay safe man, Cory, Haida Gwaii, BC

fantastic!!!

I’m curious how much of a payload you can carry and still make takeoff and landings like this with that airframe

When bored, the old man sure knows how to party.

Just Aircraft has not changed the design, but I made a few modifications. I made my flaps longer, built my tanks of aluminum, etc. The biggest difference is that this turbcharged motor has much more power.

@1:20 oopsie-daisy. Someone lost their tail wheel...

I would love to see your art in the works with a wicked crosswind. I have a thought that it would be entertaining.

This guy is either an awesome pilot or crazy as hell!!! (Maybe both)

He is really does death stick take off like glider.. well done.

The tires are from Alaska Bushwheel and cost about $2,900 per set. The plane is a Highlander. I actually sold that plane a couple months ago and built a new even better Highlander. A lot of these landings are not exactly easy and that is why I practice a lot. I landed it 50 times today. 500 times in the last 4 weeks since I started flying the new one.

Hi-ho-Steve-o, you give me a big fat smile 😃 !!!

I would have thought that you were an Alaskan bush pilot with those skills, had it not been for desert terrain. You got some big brass balls to do that, I thought you were going to crash a couple of times.

I'd love to fly a bush plane one of these days.

thats an insane vid, takes some ball to go down that slope dead stick!

Watch from 2:16 to the end with your eyes closed. Great vid, hope to see more.

I believe all pilots should have some glider experience; either in a real glider or in a propeller plane. Proficiency in gliding could save lives.

ohhhohohhh... this is orgasmic! I want a bush plane!!

"there are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots..."

Without a doubt freekin awsome.

You may be right. Possibly I was a little harsh. He certainly is one crazy pilot, there's no doubt about it.

You just got me interested in aeroplanes

It's amazing....

Now that's a pilot.

Although I do agree with you that's there's nothing wrong in doing what you do, being a Civil Aviation pilot is not all that boring. You've got taking off and landing on huge hills (Which looks amazing I might add) and we've got the amazing views at 36,000 feet. But that's not all, there's a whole list of advantages on both parts such as traveling the world being your job and executing some spectacular takeoffs and landings in a small aircraft. I'd love to tag along with you on a flight though!

wonderful

You crazy fool! You been eating TOO many Snickers!! You TOO FULL of NUTS!!! Loved the show!!

love it,,,,now THATS flying

Awesome flying! Loved the no power takeoff at the end. How difficult is it to do these maneuvers in a tail dragger?

ROTFCOPTERS!!! I was thinking the same thing! X-D

a flying dirtbike :D

Those airplanes are crazy awesome, too bad I will never have a single one, only RC :(...

i just hope this guy doesnt get too cocky because you only have take your eyes off the ball once!

Where do we buy the vid? Just excellent.

Some guys have all the fun...

And I added you to favorites LOL

What plane is that your flying? Piper Cub?

It is a "Just Aircraft, Highlander"

amazing, what are you flying?

You always have to wonder how many people said the same thing to Orville and Wilbur.

This is like the crap I do in FSX. Dude you are crazy!

I wish the FAA wasn't so strict on everything haha this is so bad ass

Excellent flying and a very nice aircraft, how much does one cost. Im flying my PPL at the moment so looking for a plane in the UK, yours would suit me fine mate

Some of this stuff, looks like a skilled pilot in a helicopter would do, not a fixed wing aircraft!! Crazy brave!!!

Looks like huge fun. And I'm guessing from the scenery that there aren't going to be a lot of "innocent bystanders" to hurt in a crash, so he's only risking his own arse (which is his prerogative).

Just add snow, deep snow and 12000ft altitude - you become a glacier pilot :-) have fun and regards from the alps :-)

Ok Here 's a great question, at around 1:20 there is no tail wheel Where is it? Did you remove it for an example?

This is the kind of flying Jeb Corliss would do!!!

where do we sign up?

a flying bob ross? happy lil planes happy lil hills

It's all about the wing slats and flaps

"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots......"

I love the takeoff without the tailwheel! I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm very interested to know how many planes have you gone through to get to this skill level?

Hi Steve. Love your plane and country where fly look so beautiful. What is the payload of this type of aircraft ?

excellent top landing. chapeau

and here wwe are in 2019 still waiting for the early access :D

@taildrgfun Can you explain How "better" is the your new Highlander. I did not think they changed the design any.

what happened to the tail wheel? broke off?
