3-4 months ago there was a post of an aircraft landing on a mountain slope and also taking of with extreme STOL performance.

I have searched high and low but cannot seem to find this. Does anyone have the link to this?

This may be the guy you are looking for, look through his movies, he posts a lot, all good.
My all time favorite is the dead stick takeoff.
BTW the plane is a Highlander kit plane from Just Aircraft in the USA, Rotax 912ULS power. Similar to the Kitfox/Safari/Explorer airframes but has ailerons and flaps.
I like it a lot and that wing design in in our future planning at Kitplanes for Africa.

HI Mogas

Not the one, but still very impressive. I think it was possibly the same aircraft type. The one I'm looking for was landed on a hill. Take off was +- 10 metres.

Thanks Mogas

There you go...do you mean this clip?

The guy in the Highlander has got to be completely nuts, the dead stick take off and landing is amazing....

Huge tires

alaskan bush wheels and full length flaps....

Awesome

Sadly he died a while back. His pics were awesome....

Thank you Graham Mac

Exactly the clip I was looking for. Truly amazing!!!

my pleasure kobusf.
pretty cool flying although a strong headwind was im shure a great help to make it as short as it was.

We have lots of nice round topped hills here!

What hills..........MOLEHILLS?

No. Heaps of duckshit.

Ek weet van n plek met n groen dak waar daai pilots lekker sal kan slaap, vir n lang tyd.

Boet lyk my die Eend soek vir jy weet wat.

You got to have HUUUUUUUGE kahoonas for that kind of flying.
