Quest Kodiak Series II Flight Trial

[@gallerykitchensandbaths1878]

Saw this one at NBAA and it truly is a great plane and I even love the CLAY LACY color/logo - very classy - got to land on East River NY and in Hamptons, saves wear and tear on the G650 and definitely great complement to anybody's bigger jet

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Well done review. Perfect for the Lake House.

[@killingrules]

Very nice aircraft, but at 2.8 million I’m not too sure how many outfits will be able to operate it. I know in northern Canada piston floats are still king.

[@peachtrees27]

Will be seeing the Kodiak (and you Larry) at KOSH!

[@aeromagnumtv1581]

Why not pressurization option (C-Caravan too)? Really like the idea of getting above weather, as much as possible. Other than that, love the Kodiak and the Cessna Caravan.👍🇺🇸💪

[@Alexius1Komnenos]

The mission of these planes is one where pressurization is simply unnecessary. The excess weight to build a pressurizable fuselage would take away from useful load. These planes don't have the range or speed to warrant high-altitude travel.

[@osu3221]

You guys should put a push button detachable ceiling and chairs with parachutes that eject. That would be something huh?

[@loslosbaby]

What's up with the pic of a dual-throttle taped together?

[@joaoroberto2915]

Maravilhoso espetacular!!!! 🤔😘😘👏

[@gerardhaubert8210]

What is the lead time to order a QK

[@MarkRose1337]

This would work nicely between CYTZ and cottage country.

[@paulhowes5094]

this is a dream plane

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Could a 2600 lb. 22 ft x 8 ft boat be transported between the floats.?

[@UncleKennysPlace]

No. Not rated for external load.

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

This one was bought by clay lacy

[@jamesmaroon6161]

has quest thought about building an aircraft with a much bigger engine? and possibly more fuel on board?

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

I remember when the series 1 came out - they were $1.1m, but that was 2007.

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

@@barrettfrederick12 , what are you talking about? I'm talking airplanes, not some tv subscription service

[@Random-rt5ec]

Kodiak is an awesome plane intended for a niche market & I look at the Kodiak as a Cessna on steroids. Knowing how expensive a Kodiak is if you see one give the owner a hug as it is $rich people like that who can give you gainful employment.

[@devilliers123]

Remarkable item..... Mmmmmm.

[@johnhoss2950]

Mr. Brown should have put you in the left seat.

[@isabeaoctel]

As everything is in imperial measurements, this is not for International operations.

[@Alexius1Komnenos]

The international standard for altitude, speed, and distance are feet, knots, and nautical miles, respectively.

[@user-mt4zr5kp7h]

I love how a $300,000 Beaver from the 1940s will pretty much do anything this one can at $2.8M. Sorry, that's a tough sell. Even an upgraded Boss Beaver with a pt6 and and floats is half that cost. And $400,000 just for a set of floats? You can get 2 more planes for that! Dude! Wtf is wrong with these people? -"we need a plane to take cargo in and out of hard to reach areas. But we don't want to spend any less than 2 mil on it" Said no one, ever.

[@TRPGpilot]

Could not understand a single measurement he gave! Metric please!

[@russellvanklassen9291]

@laviateur de TRP the measurements are all standard to the aircraft industry

[@russellvanklassen9291]

you must be french

[@MrSnicklesnickle]

‘Clean sheet design’ my arse. It’s a blatant copy of the Cessna Caravan

[@1biggun712]

No it's not!

[@miniatureenginesandmore9906]

It is not

[@bobinthewest8559]

I'm only just beginning to learn about planes, but... from what I gather so far, it's actually a blatant copy of the dehavilund beaver (not sure if I spelled that correctly).

[@tdgdbs1]

$2.8 million? For a copied Caravan; who are they kidding. Pilatus PC6 has a proven track record of 50 years and much cheaper.
