Now that's what I call an STOL airplane... and I think it is rag and tube, too! :)

"The Back Yard Flyer" with 100HP@3800 (max) RPM VW engine, 2.0:1 or 2.47:1 PSRU and a 7ft or 8ft two bladed wooden prop.

66ft roll on take off! Lands at 30mph! Watch the tail come up immediately at the beginning of the roll, or maybe before. Awesome! :cool:
