HOLY SH*T! I have flown many of my planes out of really tight landing sites (small/ un-improved runways with obstacles), but you just took the crown away from me. Taking off AND LANDING a plane that big, on a narrow dirt road, with mud puddles on both sides: quite an accomplishment.

What were you doing rzimm001, trying to simulate what it must have been like taking off from Guadalcanal, of some other jungle runway?
Congrats on what I consider a spectacular takeoff, and even more spectacular landing.

1) Looks like you had plenty of power for lift off, so the 1st thing all of would want to know is: what engines do you have on it?
2) Right along with it: what props?
3) The one I always want to know: what is the ready-to-fly-weight (minus fuel)?
