stasiek 0 #1 December 16, 2006 Hi, tell me what is your experience with Cessna 206 Soloy ops, rate of climb, fuel consumption, loads per hour etc We are considering to rent or buy this a/c for skydiving operations thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koppel 3 #2 December 16, 2006 Im sorry I cant tell you anything about the actual technical side of the Soloy. I can tell you that we had one for some time at our DZ and it is the most fantastic plane for a smaller DZ if you want something that can go like the clappers. From memeory with 6 POB's it clibmed at something like a Caravan does with a full load.I like my canopy... ...it lets me down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #3 December 16, 2006 Never seen the 206, the 207 is a pretty good performer, but you may want to investigat the difference between that and a Caravan, or PAC.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lastchance 0 #4 December 16, 2006 I have 75 or so jumps from a 206 and from my point of view it is a nice jump aircraft. As far as all the particulars, climb rate is not bad depending on how many jumpers in the plane. Fuel consumption I do not know. Get ahold of Skydive Montana. They could tell you all you need to know about the 206. Hope it helps. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brentcair 0 #5 December 17, 2006 You can go to soloys website,soloy.com and get all the technical data. Last I knew those things were going for half a million. For that kind of money you can buy a good king air and some otters. Brent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
