airplane short takeoff/landing records

[briankirk725]

Thanks much for chiming in here. I'm just a novice with eyes for details and love STOL slow goers. I understand that there is a bunch of modding on these aircraft, but your links show or tell little of what SQ12 actually is in final form and I followed a bunch of other rabbit holes from them. Thanks for the links! The one in the first picture of the article under "Backcountry Super Cubs" is similar but the wing struts, elevator, gear and nose cowling seem quite different and can't see the full tail.



The Backcountry Boss has some features of the one in Jons post except a 4 seater, and has dual wing struts. Backcountry BOSS – Backcountry Super Cubs

The one in Jon's pic is definitely not a 4 seater, has a tail like a T-38 and the fuselage, wings and the engine cowling looks like the Lycoming version of the Kit Fox with the Alaskan 26-29" tire add-on. Only way to know for sure is if Jon could source the Gif/MP4 somehow and we could rabbit hole that.

I may be wrong and happy to admit it but mainly corn-fuselaged.

You're not kidding on eyes for details! Very impressed. The one in Jon's video is originally from their Instagram page. And totally right on not being a 4 seater (SQ4), it's the SQ12 (Piper 12 variant) which I don't think they do anymore (just do the regular width like a PA-18 and the 4 seater BOSS (Bushmaster/Super Pacer). Anyways here's the original with a bunch of other cool stuff on their page. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXSiZdg...n_native_share
