You’ve done it! You just got your pilots license and purchased your first plane from a suspicious guy who says he sells pre-made kit planes. It flies but not much else. After a flight, you see something weird in a hangar: a plane that’s just an airframe. You go over to the guy who owns it and he says it’s an STOL or short takeoff and landing. This sparks your interest, so you go home and research the subject. You are now determined give your plane an STOL conversion.

Rules:
1. Must fly
2. Must be a modified version of the plane provided

Judging:
1: takeoff and landing distance, worth 5 points
2: how good it looks/ detail, worth 5 points

2nd: 10 upvotes
3rd: 5 upvotes

Deadline is April 30th
