" Actually it takes more skill to do it in less time. RiggerRob is just up the freeway from us here in Snohomish.. for the next 5 months.. getting anything more than 3k will be doing EXCELLENT. This is the land of hop and pops.. especially after such a wonderfull summer of jumping the Caravan. Our C-182 standard is 10k but if you have a couple people and willing to pay you can get 12.5k... Its $6 plus $1 per thousand All summer its been the Caravan... and 13 to 13.5k *sigh* Jeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
