Interesting video of this remarkable little plane.... and some airshow (ignore crappy music and announcer) amazingly short landings and take off.

The distance it needed for landing was about its own body length. FDL!

Amazing little aircraft — saw one here once at an air show virtually landing on a postage stamp, even in the thin air of the 1700m altitude here.
