I am not a pilot but watching your stories is so interesting and has me watching every thing you have done.
This is really a great in-depth interview that showcases your insight of the world of aviation. A lot of interviewers just ask simple questions but you go for the inside information that most interviewers overlook or know very little about expecting the subject person to carry the interview. Fantastic job and having the ability to be able to interview such insightful people is another testament to your abilities to get the right people who will bring information to the aviation community that normally wouldn’t get such inside information! Great Great video!!! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for this! I really appreciate the positive feedback and support! Thank you for watching.
Experimental Aircraft Channel - I’m a resent addition to your channel and watched your interview of Fred and his Outbound porch build and you kept reaching for information on his build. Your education in aviation allowed you to ask the questions that a home builder would need to know or want to know if they were thinking on building the Outbound in a limited amount of space. Also you were able to let Fred explain his decisions on why he decided to take delivery of each section of the build instead of the entire aircraft and not having to manage all the components during his build. I have build several aircraft and this step process is crucial for a first time builder because managing parts can be one of the builds major issues and will cause a loss of waisted time and create frustration for the builder. This is just a few of my observations during your interviews. I could go on further but just keep doing what you do and your channel will grow!
Thanks for sharing your visit with Steve. His channel was my first aviation sub and enjoyed watching him land uphill then back-up down the hill with the tail in the air. That's some serious aircraft control!
What a wealth of knowledge resides with Steve! Always some new ideas that help STOL flying. Thank for the video.
And he's flown his Highlander,,,,,, without the engine running! That's a cool video.
You are very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch and support here!
Ultimate Man Cave...where the Bats come out in the daytime...Another interesting video...Love to see the innovation these guys bring out.
Great to hear from the guy who knows how to do it right.
Steve is my most favorite of all the guys and Kevin. Steve just has that, like he'd punch you in the mouth vibe, if you got outa line. I like that.
Just had to watch this again! Awesome!
What beauties he's got there. That engine looked like it came straight out of a Yamaha sport bike or snowmobile - that's impressive! Those engines have a TON of power naturally aspirated - I can only imagine the torque of that thing with a turbo on it. NICE!! Great tour, Bryan. 👍🍻
I think they come out of a snowmobile called an apex or somethjng
"The cub guys say they lose like 8mph on cruise with these slats but I'm not seeing that...?" Says the guy with 300 horsepower strapped to the front of a 700 pound airplane. In hindsight, the extra 10 horses needed is only 3% power in this thing...so obviously not very noticeable lol. I want one so bad lol.
Super cool video, airplanes, and pilot:) love it!
@Flite Test Hey! Thank you for the compliment and support. I really appreciate it.
Steve is always looking for more performance out of his Highlander airplanes. Very creative at his craft! Thanks for the video.
You are very welcome. Steve is a very inspiring person to say the least. Thank you for watching!
Experimental Aircraft Channel , you know that in the beginning of your trip to Idaho I mentioned Steve Henry! LOL. Must’ve been cool to interview Steve in his man cave. I bet someday you could interview Mike and Mark Paty. Mike’s hanger/man cave is off the charts!
Very Good Information.
I love the Highlander,those slats look powerful.
That's a rare sight Steve's plane with the covers off! Guy at the top of the Stol competition, good luck this year, look forward to Reno this year it brought me back to the races after a long pause after Jimmy's P51 disaster
I saw Steve Henry's plane l last year at Oshkosh and it was impressive! (it was the 44 one)
That plane is rollin' on 24's... centimeters.
Excellent i hope Steve puts out a few videos great content Brian!
Thank you! YES... Looking forward to Steve's R&D report of this setup as well. Thank You for watching!
Takes off like a rocket.
Looks like an elevator going 3,000fpm right? I think he is quickly approaching VTOL! Thank You for watching!
I'd love to build an AirCam with two Edge Performance Epex engines. I bet it would beat Steve and the Pateys. It would probability need some structural improvements and changes to the wing though. Until they make classes for the racing I see no reason you can't. Draco was flying with the stock Kitfoxes. Maybe something like that DoubleEnder Cub thing that had some videos made of it a few years ago but with Epex engines. I'm not sure what ever happened to that plane. I'm sure you've seen the videos of it.
Damn, I wish I could give this TWO thumbs up! Really great stuff Bryan!
Well...one on the video... and one here in the comments works for me! Thank You for your support and Thank You for watching!
Very cool....hope to see ya in TEXAS!
Steve will definetely be in Gainesville TX next month. Hope to see you out there as well! Thank You for watching!
Why a Highlander vs one of their Superstol models with more wing area?
Just great, thanks!
Plz point me to the track (music) used in the latter part of this piece. Grandson is learning mandolin and that’s a perfect tune to accompany because there’s freq. ‘space’ for that instrument.
Oh, and really wonderful aircraft! Love to hear more about that engine, would be a natural for mini sprints.
Sure... the songs used are: Deep South by Biddy Sullivan and then Out the Back by Biddy Sullivan. This artist (and many other that I use) are found on www.epidemicsound.com Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Experimental Aircraft Channel Thank you!
No questions about the Yamaha? Size? Power? Economy?
No questions about the slat? Is it pilot controlled? Passive? Difference with or w/o?
Also, if you're serious, use mics.
Btw, I didn't down vote you, but if I watch one video, f-ing youtube will start loading me up with more of your videos, so I down vote a lot videos for that reason.
Cool, nice to see what Steve is up to...
Valdez alaska stol is were you need to go
I enjoyed this, good stuff! Hope he makes in to MN as that comp is about 45 minutes south of me. Would love to see either of these aircraft’s in person!
if had to chose a guy that bleed STOL in all of the us fly it like you STOL it community it would be Steve Henry, i will be ruling for you Steve at the drag race.
just would like to see him upload more often , but yo can't be mad at the guy is just a beast.
Well.... see him IN PERSON in Gainesville TX next month! Thank you for watching!
Good job Made in USA.
Крутой самолет! Хочу такой же
Very interesting
Jury struts are mainly for negative G?
Τhank yου!! Very interesting!
Another good one, thanks!
It’s my dream to someday ask Steve Henry to build a Just Aircraft plane ✈️ for me!!!
CAN YOU IMAGINE STEVE HENRY WITH MIKE PATEY’S HANGER!!! We would really have a low&slow, short takeoff&landing BUSH PLANE!!!
Next mod should be negative pitch on the propeller :)
I'm up and waiting at 3:15 am......... lets get with it !............ darn, ...now I see 5 P.M. guess I'll go back to bed.
Hah! Well then... Thank You for your enthusiasm and for your support!
I was up again this morning and I WATCHED the video.... great plane and builder for sure..... made it Reno last year just to see all the great Bush Planes in the City.(lol).... Have a GREAT DAY and thanks for the tour.
What brand of 4 blade propeller he’s using?
You say you got a Yamaha with Turbo. What model ? Can it run on mogas ?
What size trailer is Steve using? How much clearance does he have when he folds the wings up with the added slats? Now to rob a bank and go to Idaho!
Steve's trailer is about 30' long. Interior is 98" wide. There was about 3" (+/-) clearance on the wings at either side. It fit very well. Don't go robbing a bank to feed your Aviation Passion now! :-) Thank you for watching and supporting here!
Are the Yamy motors available from O.E.M. as a crate or from wrecked sleds ?
Darrell Doran not necessarily salvaged Sleds anymore.
@@darylbuckner5596 , fair enough where do you get the engines ?
Really interesting to hear about the cruise speed loss, or lack of it, with the slats. But with the power to weight ratio Steve has, maybe it's there and he just doesn't notice?! Virtually every other aircraft owner with slats reports a loss in cruise speed, also a loss in climb performance. Again, that could be masked by the mucho power he has. I'm guessing the slats must be removed if ever hauled in a trailer.
I think the relative low speed where the Highlander operates, the loss of speed isn't as noticeable. The airplane is so draggy without the modification anyway.
Come speak to him in person next month in TX! At the Lone Star STOL Competition. Thanks for watching! :-)
@@2Phast4Rocket Good point, that, and probably a bit more of that extra power he has and yes I can see where he can say they don't effect cruise speed, for him anyway.
Great video, I want a Highlander!! Where did he get the crate engine from?
Thank You! The engine came from Norway. Edge Performance AS. They build these Yamaha engines and also modified Rotax. Thank You for watching!
How to get an airplane to take off in the short term?
March tenth? That's today
Then...its the 12th-15th. The actual competition is scheduled for Saturday. Registration and practice will start a day or two prior.
can you give me more info on the STOL race in Independence Oregon?
What class do these aircraft fall under? LSA?
Where your shop is located ?
hello friend,how much for build this aircraft stol...without yamaha engine
Well, there are flyers, and there are hoverers....
Should have done a promotion where patreon members got this early.
Probably would have doubled your support.😂
Great idea! Still on the road heading back to FL so a bit under a time crunch. Thank you for the idea! Thank you for YOUR support!
Yamaha is a Rotax killer. Got to be cheaper than overpriced Rotax. What is the cruise speed? Slow my guess.
Cheaper. Don't count on it, once its configured for aircraft.
@@Flightstar This is experimental not certified. You could get the Yamaha and bolt the PSRU on yourself. I paid $12k for my Lycoming 180HP O-360-A1A. $4K core and $10K to overhaul (me and A&P/AI friend doing teardown and build up), not including electronic ignition and 4into1 exhaust. You can buy a new Lyc for $26K.
How do you get a N number on an experimental?
You just find one of them Cessnas parked at some tiny airport, and then you just unbolt that N number and run like the wind!
Oh this waiting thing is just Cruel!
Was the pay off worth it? I hope so! I really enjoyed meeting Steve and learning about all he does there. More videos to come soon on the engine and how Steve got started in Aviation!
Experimental Aircraft Channel very good video, I’m waiting on my SkyTrax gearbox to arrive for my Highlander so any content related to the Apex or Just Aircraft is appreciated.
Hello. I seen very often times watching this video. Mr Steve. Can I have your Email ? Than you.
Don’t interrupt the vide to sell yourself... annoying AF.😣👎🏼
Auto-out-of-focus.
