👇 Guess the takeoff distance 👀✈️

Another Throwbavj to @wildweststeve launching his @justaircraftllc Highlander “Yeehaw 6” at the @nationalstol Championships event in 2022 at Gainesville, Texas.

It was short… but how short do you think it was?

Knobby tractor tires instead of bushwheels — and the stopping power shows.

@wildweststeve drops his Yeehaw 8 @justaircraftllc Highlander XL in short.

Between the tire bite and the Yamaha @yamahamotorusa Sidewinder supercharged engine & the @tundra_tailwheels this setup works!

Bushwheels or knobbies — what would you run? 👇
