Outtakes from SwampSTOL 2025 practice runs
From last weekend's SwampSTOL competition in Louisiana, here are some outtakes of Sheldon Heatherington's practice runs in his Redbird STOL #SkyJeep.
While many STOL competitors fly high-horsepower (up to 300 hp!) aircraft with big bush tires (and even bigger budgets), Sheldon keeps it light and simple with his Zenith STOL CH 750. Powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS and flying on stock wheels, it’s proof you don’t need a big budget to have big fun.
