grimmie 173 #30 July 27, 2011 The Kodiak is up to about $1.5 million for the jump package. The wait time is very long for one. It only takes 12 comfortably. I went to the factory and looked a few over. They are pretty nice. A Caravan's little brother on steroids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was being smart with the money it would be a caravan or a 750XL.Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

sundevil777 93 #41 July 28, 2011 Quotehttp://www.blackhawk.aero/commercial-products/aircraft/cessna-caravan/ Do you think it's possible to use the bottom of the lower cargo extension as the floor of the cabin? That would be so nice, even if the door didn't extend down that far.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 38 #43 July 28, 2011 The Arava I don't know how much it costs, but it was way fun. Fast to altitude, and the takeoff was breathtaking (mostly from Gs keeping me from breathing ) Too bad the rear cargo couldn't be removed for flight to facilitate exit. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=74645;t=search_engine lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be so nice, even if the door didn't extend down that far. Pretty sure that's a negative. The cargo pod is a fiberglass attachment to the fuselage. The Cargo pod adds quite a bit of drag and slows the climb rate quite a bit.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

kd5xb 1 #45 July 28, 2011 I don't know what it costs, but if I had my choice, it would be a CH-53. Holds something like 20 or 30 skydivers, and climbs to altitude FAST. As a bonus, you can operate it from almost any open field.I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.
