b1jercat 0 #51 September 10, 2003 I like to do hop n pops as much as I like to go to full altitude. I prefer a 182 for the hop n pops because theres less forward throw. The really good guys hang from the wing by their feet, flip you the bird with both hands and than drop. We're getting our first week of rain, soon to be followed by months, so I'm looking forward to jumping the 182 this winter. If you haven't jumped a 182 I highly recommend the experience. blue skies jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skymonkey13 0 #52 September 10, 2003 Quoteespecially wingsuit out of them.. going out backwards out of a 182 (i.e. facing the tail and pushing off) actually makes the exit feel sorta like a heli exit.. you actually fall before you start to fly.. Thats something i have wondered about. I might have to talk to you some more in the Bird-Man forum about that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usmcdannyboy 0 #55 September 10, 2003 i learned on a 182 and i was scared to death on every one of them...it took me a while to appreciate the old bird but now i love them...the only problem is in hawaii you will never go over 8,000 unless its the last load on an early day or you happen to get the dz manager to go with you....I need to try the bat exit but the pilot is afraid the wing will come offI am the light my son...What you seek is fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pa2themd 0 #56 September 10, 2003 I have been fortunate to learn on the Porter, but have had the opportunity to jump the C182, C210T and the king air! I prefer the C182 to the C210T "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!" Ivern Ball Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #57 September 10, 2003 C-182sand c-206s are very much standard fare at most Canadian DZs. We are starting to see bigger jumpships at some places, but if you jump here, you will more than likely jump a sardine-can cessna. Do I like it? Not particularily. I could do without the 20-30 minute ride to altitude, specially on a really hot summer day. Now that I read this thread though, I feel a certain amount of pride... Spotting appears to be a forgotten art. We actually get to chat with our pilot about upper winds and discuss jumps run passes while looking at the arial pic. (They DO serve a purpose!!) And there is NOTHING that can descibe the experience of smacking your chin/arm/leg/helmet/various body part on that jump step on your way out!!!!

ChileRelleno 0 #58 September 10, 2003 Sheez! I've jumped just about every type of jumpable Cessna there is (and some not so jumpable) and the 182was predominant among them.

AggieDave 6 #59 September 10, 2003 QuoteAggie, only 4 jumpers in a 182? all of the 182s I've been in (4) could carry 5 jumpers. 5-jumper 182s are not common. Those are wide-body 182s that have been STCed for 5 jumpers. Even then, its a question of weight and balance, if you have a couple guys that are my size, then 5 people would most likely be over weighting the aircraft.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ivanrockon 0 #60 September 10, 2003 More than a 1,000 jumps from them. There are always fun specially if your are jumping with 4 or 5 of your friends. Ivan "Rock On" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #61 September 10, 2003 of course, the people who haven't jumped C182s are always so confused when we talk about the spots to sit in them: student, JM, back-to-pilot, and the-back. I have jumped with people when they are doing their first jump outta a C182, and its pretty entertaining to watch em squirm as you explain how to crawl out on the strut MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never know how to sit in the plane. I love having to spot for those people too since they generally don't know how to. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

MyOwnWay 0 #65 September 10, 2003 the only chance i get to jump out of something OTHER than a C-182 is when i go to boogies, but hell, i have only been to one of those. i will admit i wasn't looking forward to jumping out of a C-182 after i jumped out of a sky van all weekend at freaks. but, hey, it's a plane. and i won't complain as long as i can jump out of it._________________________________________ all good things are wild and free - Henry David Thoreau Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #66 September 11, 2003 Never have, only a C-180 and a C-170. Hey it was the early eighties and the hot new aircraft had not yet made it to the drop zones yet. Lately got my eye on a caravan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skreamer 1 #68 September 11, 2003 For me it is like the difference between driving a car and go-kart racing. Sure the car/turbine is faster and more comfortable, but the go-kart/182 can be a helluva lot of fun.
