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 without flaps, debuted and was won by 22-year-old Nick Poucher from the Lakeland Aero Club, which also served as the event's home base.
The competition saw the notable absence of previous undefeated champion Steve Henry, opening the door for new winners across categories, and concluded with unique trophies crafted from actual MT propellers.
