My brother and I have been wanting to do some deer hunting on Montague Island down in Prince William Sound for a while now so we decided that now was a good time. We invited Robby to go along and he graciously helped flying gear and people around. Rob and I flew from Birchwood to Seward and met my brother who drove his truck down with more gear. With a cabin reserved on the island we were pretty much “glamping”, airplane style. The airplanes were loaded up and we headed out i

My birthday present to my self was to wash my airplane and go flying. I found myself up the Knik River bar hopping on maybe the nicest day of the entire summer. All I can say is that it was spectacular! The learning curve is a riot. #STOL #SuperStol #Catto #Alaska #EAA #Flying #Beach #Snow #Tundra #Glacier #Highlander #Landing #AKBushWheels #Mountains #River #JustAircraft #iPhone #Experimental

Kev and I fueled up and went exploring today. We stopped in Skwentna to check out the fuel situation then headed up to Chelatna Lake. We stopped and looked around for a while before heading back south. Chelatna Lake is spectacular! The water is like glass. #Mountains #River #Highlander #AKBushWheels #Tundra #JustAircraft #iPhone #Experimental #Snow #Beach #Flying #Landing #EAA #Glacier #Catto #Alaska #SuperStol #STOL

One thing I learned quickly was just how much weight you can stuff in the Superstol. My brother and I jammed the airplane full of fuel and then loaded all of our camping gear, fishing gear, rifles and the kitchen sink and headed out fishing for the day. We still only used about 220′ for take off and landing was 150′ maybe, this is going to be a fishing and hunting machine! #STOL #SuperStol #Cabin #EAA #Catto #Alaska #Beach #Flying #Snow #Experimental #JustAircraft #Tundra #Gl

I helped Rob build some “super secret squirrel Superstol” airplane mods for his Valdez competition. It was a lot of fun to be part of his pit crew this year. Rob won the LSA bracket this year, and depending who you talk to, you may learn that he did far better than that! He had the shortest landing of the day at 27′. Don’t let anyone kid you, the Superstol is one competitive airplane! #STOL #SuperStol #Alaska #Catto #EAA #Flying #Snow #Experimental #iPhone #JustAircraft #Land
