As requested, today we are checking out some of the top bush planes in the world. If you aren’t familiar, bush planes are generally airplanes with tailwheels and have awesome short take off and landing capabilities. These airplanes are well recognized as Bush planes mainly because you can take off and land them off field or non paved runways. Flying bush planes is not for every pilot. It’s more for the adventurous and skillful pilot who is confident in their stick and rudder skills.

2. Maule M7 - Maule aircraft have been building airplanes for a while now and the M7 series is a top line heft plane. This awesome bush plane will cary up to 5 people while cruising you along at over 150 miles per hour. Thanks to the high performance engine.

3. Zenith STOL CH 750 - Talk about a true STOL bush plane. The Zenith CH 750 Super STOL can do some damage in bush plane competitions.

5. Kitfox - Yes it’s experimental, and yes it’s probably the best bank for the buck you’ll get if you’re pricing out modern bush planes. The Kitfox series will cost anywhere from $20k to $60k used. If you prefer a more powerful airplane. Hop in the turbo charged version of the Kitfox S7 fitted with 141HP Rotax engine.
