Just too tempting.....

Postby CHUCK79 » Fri Jan 28, 2011 12:16 am

I kept going back to Bobs' post about the sale on this plane....then I'd go to the website and look at it.....finally, I broke down :)
There's still time.....http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaB ... 1295910214

I must say....thanks Bob, this is an awesome aircraft 8-)
Lots of models lots of paint schemes.......here's a couple I like :)
This thing looks at home anywhere

I bought this plane, in part, because of how much they talked up it's bush flying capabilities.........I can't think of a better place to test out it's STOL ability than here. Most of you know about this scenery but, for those who don't:http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=bear+camp
This scenery is a must have for bush flying enthusiasts ;)
Image
I came in very close to stall speed because history has taught me that runway is fleetingly precious here.
Image
It turns out that reverse prop pitch makes a lot of difference though and, I was a little surprised when I came to an easy comfortable stop.......well short of getting the front tire wet in the water hazard at the end of the runway ;D
Image
After unloading all the cargo....mostly wobblypop and band aids, along with most of my fuel (they said they needed it for their snowmobile?......I'll bet it goes fast), I cut it very close anyway. She did it though. In my opinion.....12.47 well spent :)

Thanks 4 looking :)

Nice flight there!  Looks like the Kodiak does have some great short field capabilities... I wonder if it can match the Otter though?  (right Doug?  8-))

Looks like you really yanked it off the ground in the last shot!  ::)

Nice shots Chuck. :)

Glad to see you enjoying the Kodiak. Reminds me I need to do some repaints for it. All I have done is a palette shift changing the red to silver.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
