chuckbrown 0 #27 May 27, 2004 QuoteChuck, I know I'm new to the sport; but, otters that climb as slow as 182's????? I'm not naming names because the DZ that owns it is one of the best I've ever been to, and I wouldn't want to say anything to keep people away. But their Otter climbs as slow as a 182 (and the local jumpers are the first to admit it). You'll just have to go to all the Otter DZs to find out where it's at.

jlmiracle 7 #30 May 27, 2004 QuoteChuck, I know I'm new to the sport; but, otters that climb as slow as 182's????? Either all 22 people were VERY FAT or it is a plane I would truly be happy to have my rig on. So much for the perfectly good airplane questions. I've been in an otter that took over 30 minutes to get to altitude. First the stall warning goes off on take off then after 30 minutes and still another 2000 feet to go to "full altitude", we are told we have to get out cause they are out of gas. Our Cessna 195 gets to 12,500 in about 15-18 minutes. JudyBe kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I guess you have never been on a full competition load with the Critical Mass boys, (from St George) in the slow *polar bear* otter on a hot day..That was what i call slow! We were loving it just for the fun factor of the ride up to altitude You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.-Richard Bach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian425 0 #32 May 27, 2004 Bergh, Sorry to say that the Kudu looks like dodo. I would definitely jump it though. If I ever make it down your way, save a slot for me.

FrogNog 1 #34 May 27, 2004 I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the Caravan (or Grand Caravan) is a Cessna. Cessna 208. So far, this is my favorite plane.

CrazyRock 0 #35 May 27, 2004 Quote COME ON OUT TO KANSAS DUDE!!! WE'VE GOT ALL THE CESSNA'S YOU WANT!!!! no kidding... arg.. sure, cessnas can be fun.. a couple of you talked about going back and forth being fun, and i would agree, but when cessnas are the only thing around they can get pretty old. I started on totters, so when i jumped out a cessna it was fun, but after a bit you really miss the turbines. -Seth :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickMcMahon 0 #38 May 27, 2004 After jumping from Cessna 182's, 205's, a Caravan, the TwinOtter, TwinBeech, and others I can't remember ... I've decided the air outside the plane feels the same no matter which machine got me up there. Being 6'2". the 182 is a bit cramped when it's fully loaded. But it's fun to hang from the strut.

Our 182 regularly goes to 14k in a faster time than our 206 can get to 12. Although our 206 can get to 12k MUCh faster than the Otter I jumped last weekend (not a Super Otter). And the Cessna's are a lot more comfortable to me - the Otters unless I'm lucky enough to be sitting on the floor by the door you invariably have someone sitting on top of you squashing you to death and causing you dire pain. Cessna's are a thousand times more comforrtable.... W Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Brian425 0 #41 May 28, 2004 And the farting in the Otter. We get to 14k in a little under 20 minutes with a full load. In that time, the intestinal pressure relief valve will release pressure at least twice. The only thing I hate about the large groups is the farting. With 22 people who were out late Saturday night, the Otter cannot get to altitude fast enough. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Hell no! It's fun to try to lauch a 4 way from 7k. But, the best part of a little Cessna is that it takes off with a helluva lot less jumpers than a turbine. We used to have a 206 for $16 to 12k. Two jumpers $24 each and we fly! It sure beats watching sitting on the couch. Want to have some fun from a Cessna try letting the spotter just exit and everyone else get off there butt or whatever & scramble out the door after them. A 4 way is very doable from 7k with a little practice. All jumpers less than 300 jumps, try it you might like it! R.I.P.
