So I guess you broke down and finally spent the $25 for that Kodiak, uh?

Looks like a real freight hauler - sort of a religious 'Caravan'.

For me, it is less esthetically pleasing than a Super Otter, but more than a Caravan. But the performance and flight characteristics are just simply wonderful. And I have grown to love the vc after getting used to it. The only fault I can find, is the way it sits in the water at various speeds, doesn't seem realistic. And it could make good use of spoilers, if it had them. Do real world pilots ever use reverse thrust in the air to slow down quickly?

It's one of your prelanding moves in anything with an adjustable prop. You want to have it in its flattest pitch in the event of a go around - maximum turns quickest.
