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":

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.
There was a recent challenge by a fellow youtuber to show off our runways that are in use and less than 350ft.
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.
These specs should qualify the Humberd field airstrip as one of the shortest, most fun, and also one of most dangerous around.
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.
You all may recognize the runway and airplane from previous videos by Bryan Walstrom of the Experimental Aircraft Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ExperimentalAircraftChannel
in his two part video series featuring the Super701.
