2011 Valdez STOL Competition

Ed Doyle, EAA 474018, of Manhattan, Kansas, who flew the heavily modified experimental Super Cub Cuzoom owned by Mike Olson, of Yakima, Washington, won the wide-open alternate bush plane category in last weekend’s annual event.
In a competition where less is more, Doyle’s total takeoff and landing distance was a mere 78 feet. That’s 43 feet for the takeoff and 35 feet for the landing – best of the bunch.
Second place in the alternate Bush category was won by Randy Goza, of Wasilla, Alaska, with a total distance of 83 feet, and third place went to Josh Pepperd, Anchorage, 89 feet.
