Who needs helicopters?

Awesome!  I could land in the field across the street from my house 

Although not as impressive as the cub in the video, the Bearhawk that I am (slowly) building is not too shabby considering that it is a true 4-place with a 1200 lb. useful load, even with a 0-360 in it

They also seem to be more popular in Alaska than any other state as the current stats on the Bearhawk group show more built in Alaska than other states.

Floats can be mounted, also 

Those Bearhawks are NICE.  Though my new favorite utilitarian kit-plane is the Murphy Moose.  Got to check out an almost complete on a couple weeks ago.  It's pretty much a DH Beaver twin with a IO/O-540 OR a 360hp 9 cylinder Russian radial engine that spins the wrong way.

I was looking at those too, they look nice but I couldn't  scratch-build one.  

I think all the STOL planes are great.
