Yeah, that ain't NOTHING like what happens when you try to pull a stunt like that in a Cessna. Then it becomes what PIA said: DANGEROUS. No Cessna (or any other small conventional plane I can think of) sticks its tail up in the air the moment you apply thrust.
A Cessna waddles down the runway and if you yank the stick it will shudder and bounce off the tarmac and eventually try to gain some lift but more often than not you're really just stalling repeatedly while four feet off the ground.

And that's what my old boss insisted was his own version of STOL.
Linda was the canary in the coal mine...her stream of projectile blouse emesis was louder than the stall alarms and her note was a third interval above the musical pitch of the alarms.

It was like she was in a vomit choir with the buzzers.

These little STOL planes on the other hand, almost look like my dog sitting up to beg for a biscuit!
