very cool from the looks of the video he must not have any stick shake. how did he get rolling someone pushing and also I did not see a very strong head wind to prerotate. don't try that one at home.

It appears to be a fixed wing

If it is a little fixed wing ulta than no great feat and no stick shake.

It is fixed wing, it's STOL Highlander and I have just found myself a new hero.

This guy really makes this aircraft sit up and beg, literaly. I am way impressed. I would imagine even a gyro with a great prerotator would hesitate to go where this gentleman was doing his landings and I have never seen aircraft turning round like this. Pretty amazing stuff

He's pretty cool and calm while he's having "Way too much fun"
