....I'm reffering to an STOL aircraft, simply to get access to grass strips and short runways safely.....
Except for off-airport locations and private strips, many of those are quite accessible for RVs. In fact, the first two RVs I ever saw were up in the Idaho back country.
C'mon, folks, the RVs are entirely adequate for most of the bush flying needs expressed in this discussion. All it takes is a bit of practice and some specialized knowledge. The planes are fine.

P.S. Regarding the photo in the previous posting, in my old line of work we'd call that a structural canopy. And we'd wonder if the spar had a cut-out for the pilot's head, or whether the pilots head had a cut-out for the spar. Pretty picture, though, got to admit!
