Key Takeaways:
The 2021-22 Husky National STOL Series began with the Central Florida Classic in Lakeland, Florida, kicking off the largest STOL competition series in the U.S.
A new Light Sport Class for aircraft 100 hp or less and without flaps debuted, with Nick Poucher winning in an aircraft built by the Lakeland Aero Club, a high school flying club that also hosted the event.
The event saw new champions emerge in various classes, including Jon Humberd and Warren Grobbelar, partly due to the absence of previously undefeated competitor Steve Henry, and featured unique trophies made from actual MT propellers.
