Are you thinking about signing up to compete but u

Are you thinking about signing up to compete but unsure where to start? One of our first time competitors this spring was Bobby Kerr in his 1996 Maule M7-180A. Bobby is a college student in the Atlanta, Georgia metro area, and a private pilot with about 200 hours. The plane, which is completely bone stock - minus some carefully placed tennis tape on the yoke, did extremely well against like competitors. Bobby's takeoff rolls in his Maule were averaging in the low 230s, with landings surprisingly similar, with most in the low 200s. One of his shortest landings was 183 feet. But, as we mentioned, Bobby was a completely first time competitor and has never been to one of our events previously. We asked Bobby if he had any suggestions for pilots considering signing up, "Doing some kind of flying competition is something that I had wanted to for a long time until I found National STOL. The fact that you can use the airplane you most likely already have and the airport you’re based out of to practice is HUGE. With less than 200 hours of total time, I was able to fly and compete. You just won’t find that in many other series. Never in my life did I ever think that I would actually be competing. If you’re even remotely considering it, go for it. Use those slow flight and short field landing skills that you’ve learned and just have fun. If you don’t think you’ll be competitive, do it anyways. You might surprise yourself, and flying against/with someone better than you is one of the best (if not the best) ways to improve your own flying."

Since the dawn of Bush planes, aviators wanted to see if they could best their friends distances. Who can land and take off in the shortest distance or from the hardest location. In 2019, Doug Jackson envisioned this to be a competition that could develop into a new and exciting sport!
