Bush Trimming Alaska Style

Me and Super Avid Randy had a great time flying the Skewtna River this weekend.  Did some challenging landings.  On one landing I shaved the bushes pretty good to make it easier for the next pilot LOL.

NICE!!!

What 3 bladed prop are you using and how do you like it?

Also how big of tires are you guys running and how much speed did you loose compared to say a 600"s or 850"s.

THANKS

Great video.

Im running a 75" STOL whirlwind.  26" Alaska bush wheel.  Running a 912 ULS 100hp so I don't see a slow down because I am overpowered.

I'm running 30 X13 Airstreaks; they are about 5 mph slower than 26" Bushwheels and probably 10+ mph slower than 800's or 850's in cruise. But they roll over brush much better than Jeff's puny 26's. :lmao:

Yeah but it must take bigger balls and better piloting to plant his plane w/ puny 26's in the same place as yours with those phat tires and X/L wings, hehe!
