That third video he used the water to slow himself down then hit the gravel, the first 2, especially the second Was like 30-40 feet maybe.

Dunno.  These were fowarded to me in an email or I stole them from Debonair,  I can't remember which.  I'm guessing one would need their balls screwed on as tight for the takeoff as they must've been for the landing.

IMO supercubs should fall under the R/W category for a lot of the FARs, that or monster truck.
I'd love to see one land, taxi & T/O on the wind of a big commercial airliner (zOMG or a small one!!!11oneone:O )
