Awesome looking paint job.
You should have a lot of fun with that plane.
I watched Tom Cook do a demo off of a grass field at Hillsdale Lake, Kansas last weekend. He didn't use 200 foot of runway the whole day.
Keep up the good work

Come on Marty...tell the truth!
The Hustler took 150 feet...you measured it and YOU LOST THE BET TO ME! (We bet on the takeoff distance).
Actually, the grass popped the nose up a little and the plane lifted off at a real slow speed. What amazed us was that it kept flying instead of doing the expected gentle hop before lifting off. Tom just kept it going and up it went!
The landing was amazing too. Tom only used 300 feet of the runway.
Really, a beautiful sight and Marty O owes me...is that what O stands for?

What Engine did Tom use for the grass field demo? Was it the AMT AT280 or the new AT400 pushing 35# of thrust? Could it also have been The Jetcat line? Thanks, just curious. Ken h
