The Husky National STOL Series invites you to the Central Florida Classic Short TakeOff & Landing Competition (STOL), returning to the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus in Lakeland, FL on December 3rd and 4th.
Come out and witness STOL competitors demonstrate their impressive backcountry flying skills as they take off fast and land even faster! For a second year, the Husky National STOL Series will launch the first event of their new season, the Central Florida Classic STOL Competition, as one of the feature events at the SUN ‘n FUN Holiday Fly-In Festival & Car Show.
The goal of the competition pilots is to take off and land in amazingly short distances across six classes. These distances are measured and tallied; the pilot with the shortest total distance in each division takes home the trophy. You can see the full event schedule here. Get your tickets now!
Many well-known competitive pilots within the STOL community will attend from as far away as Arkansas, California, Idaho, Minnesota & Texas to compete in one of the six classes: Heavy Touring, Light Touring, Bush Class, Experimental Bush, Light-Sport and Light Sport Experimental.
