Was there a left cross wind? Why were planes cocked to left on take off?

Great video Sara. Congratulations to Steve
Always great to watch the master in action and the support you give Dad Sara! Glad you got her dialed in with the new engine. Turn her up! 🤠👍
👍
Great job editing, Sara!
Nice job
Damn, even when he's bad, he's the best....
One of these days... one of these days. #GetMyPPL
Out of Ukraine? 😢 Appreciate it while you can. 😔
Why??? Are you from Russia??
Great job steve
dont just re weld the broken flange. Re design the whole thing for added strenght.
Impressive light weight aircraft Steve.
Incredible!
Think it’s great! But with enough headwind but couldn’t shortest takeoff be a negative number?
You guys are awesome! Love it 👍
You're using Hiwin linear guide rails for the door :-) its all about precision there.
I pl😊
Lic
You could land at DFW! (14,000 ft runways for the Concorde)
Ever thought about putting a throttle trigger on the flaps handle? Squeeze with index finger for throttle, that way you dont have to move your whole hand and arm to switch controls...
That plane must have been used by Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York".
DANG PETE-E sure Growing fast!! Teach him to fall..AWAY from the bike too Brownie. I'M Sure you will...
that is impressive
A "grasshopper" landing gear could make a zero foot takeoff possible. On the ground, you set a spring-loaded mechanism, like setting a mousetrap. In the plane, you rev the engine and flip a lever that releases the spring, and the plane hops into the air.
Great job Sara with this production, and congrats to your dad!! Lots of work there.
Sara, nice coverage. Fun to watch. Glad Steve got the engine swapped out.
Steve you could've done it. It is hard but you could've done Dubai
Dude you are amazing awesome and great. My hero stol pilot.
Yeah that cylinder was running hot. The white tip of the plug showed that . Even though I am14 I know what I am talking about. Yeehaw.
What turned out to be the rood cause of your issue?
A good enough gust and you can make it zero. In fact you can lift off going backwards in a good Chinook gust in Boulder, CO - if your plane doesn't flip the moment you untie it.
Nothing like the love of a daughter. I know. All good Juan Browne. Never saw the STOL races before. Hands full with the clock ticking and a competitor in front of you. Light it up, hit the brakes spin and go. Whew! Sara Smile. Congrats Steve. Determination and skill
Don’t know about American tics but the European once are not nearly the size of the bugs you showed 😂😂… A tic is firstly not an insect, count the legs, tics has 8 not 6
Very cool 😎
Just run it until it blows, you trailered it there, what are you worried about
Congrats Steve...great coverage Sara. Beutiful airshow.
Liking the look of (my) Tundra tailwheel. It's now approved per far 21.303!
First time I watched one of your videos (thanks to Juan Brown's repost!), and I loved it! Thank you! Cheers and congrats from Toronto! 👋🏻😊
Frickin' Beautiful
Amazing Job Team Wild West Aircraft! Wish I could have been there! Yee Haww from the Hoosier!!!
Tick,Tick,Tick! 😢😮😊
Awesome job guys!
Thanks so much!
13:09 "..get Feel Gauges"...so very cute!
A few more knots headwind and it could be 0 feet.
Great stuff and a lot of love and this is therepy
Dribbling injector maybe.
Good stuff Sara! Great behind the scenes look at STOL Drag Racing! Jb
Thank you!! ☺️ Sara
Juan I had no idea you were there! I didn't make it til Sunday but it sounds like you did some great announcing!
Great video Sara. Your editing is so inspiring. I’m sad I missed the show. 😢 but the beast is gonna be back. 🤘🤘Reno here we come.
Thank you Jeff! 😁 We missed you bring there! -Sara
