Extreme Flying
STOL-Adventures.com has released its first full-length DVD featuring
the STOL CH 701.
Titled "Canyon Surfing," this video shows off the aircraft at its
best in off-airport, back-country environments: Landing and taking
off from rough river beds, short grass fields and curved private
roads. Flown by experienced STOL pilots Christopher Desmond and
Michael Heintz, this fast-paced adventure includes steep turns,
tight "canyon turn-arounds" and remarkably steep approaches and
climb-outs, providing an excellent demonstration of the STOL's
amazing capabilities.
