Many people have asked about the home grass strip that is used by the Super701, especially after the recent video showing the near disaster "Sketchy landing in a storm":<br></br>

In this video, you can ride along as I show you what the short/narrow strip on Humberd Farm looks and feels like. We get a couple of bird's eye views and also do a couple of takeoffs and landings.<br />
<br />
There was a recent challenge by fellow youtuber, Mauleguy, to show off our runways that are in use and less than 350ft. The challenge starts at 11min 15sec in his video: "Testing Acme Aero Fab Shocks on Bushwacker 2.0".<br />

<br />
The grass strip that is the home of Super701 has a very narrow taxiway through an old-growth forest that leads downhill to the 310ft long x less than 30ft wide grass runway. Watch your wingtips! The runway is smoothed off from a cattle pasture. It is one-way, with no chance of a go-around once on short final approach. It also has an uphill grade with many trees and obstacles all around, including trees, stumps, cattle, fences, tall grass, wildlife, etc.<br />
These specs should qualify the Humberd field airstrip as one of the shortest, most fun, and also one of most dangerous around.<br />
I'm pretty confident that this is one of the coolest short landing strips that is used regularly in the U.S. and maybe even the world.<br />
<br />
It has also been featured with the AOPA. More of that great footage can be seen here:<br />
