Short Field- FARM

Wow Rooster, sorry to hear this story. Thanks for posting. That strip looks pretty inviting. I would not think that it would be a problematic strip by the looks of it. Goes to show that back country strips are nothing to take lightly. If one wants to do those kind of strips it is absolutely advisable to get the instruction from a skilled back country pilot. I won't be doing it until I fly again with Stick and Rudder.

Sorry to hear Reid, always hard to lose a friend too early.

Not saying this was part of your friends accident at all but the one thing I don’t like about the 914 is the waste gate failure mode is wide open. Which means if your waste gate cable slips at the wrong time, you’re making around 2/3s the HP you were planning on.
