Very impressive STOL take off and landing, Zenair 701 in New Zealand. This is an event that is or was called the "Healthy B**tards Competition"

In the first few seconds of the video you can see a windsock on the right side, and there is only a modest amount of wind... the sock shows 10-12 mph IMHO. If the ground markings are correct, this is about 15 meters (<50 feet) take off and landing distance.
