Drifting in a SuperSTOL - Fun on the wet grass!

Post by FlyerChief »

Check out the cool video of Gary? drifting the SuperSTOL in the wet grass at the factory... :D
I don't think it's Troy... the pilot is in the left seat.

I bet its Troy the person in the left seat is holding the down tube if it was Gary that hand would be on the stick.

When I visited the Factory in October, it was a nice sunny morning but the grass was good and wet. Troy demonstrated the drifting capabilities of the SS with me in the left seat. Talk about someone having too much fun with their job!!!!!

Thanks for the clarification...
There is a lot of glare and reflection on the windows, so it's hard to see who's flying. It definitely looks like Troy's flying style... 8)

Looks like a riot!!!!
