Nice looking craft! What is it?

It is a highlander. http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ha...staircraft.com

This is not mine but the same model with bush wheels. This airplane is not for a pansy that needs a whisper quiet cockpit and 150 knot cruise. This plane does about 100 MPH but can land in under 300 feet over a 50 foot obstacle with a 27 MPH stall.

I did not intend for it to be that large. Oh well.

Come on guys, they look so much better in their element, not on the ground.

Is this an ultimate? I taught acro and unusual attitudes for a little over a year and I miss it quite a bit. Im trying to find a few local guys with approved planes to mess around with without having to instruct again. I may have a christen eagle connection I could swing. Fun times.
