PAC 750 XSTOL has limited visibility being low wing and it hasn't got amphibious floats option. Plus it's slower (AFAIK) and a bit more thirsty, so the bigger payload is "eaten" at about 600 km or so. STOL is marginally better with XSTOL. I don't know if XSTOL has ice protection option. Pilatus PC-6 Porter has smaller payload and range and is much slower, albeit much better STOL. Cessna 208 Grand Caravan is heavier and I think it must be too cramped if you stuff in 13 people. Bubble windows for Kodiak would be really nice. Kodiak has either considerably larger payload or considerably longer range than GippsAero GA10 Airvan (Mahindra), which in reality isn't a 10 seater if you look at the payload range. It does use considerably less fuel with the 450 shp Rolls-Royce (Allison) M250. Whether that turbine is as reliable as the proven PT6 I don't know, but it is one of the most common turbines. So, it does seem that Kodiak is the best bush workhorse running on Jet fuel. Stall is not too bad on Kodiak either, I think...though it must be rather manageable on these others too.

The first time I saw a Kodiak, I thought it was a caravan.

[@milesfish5013]

[@NGC008]

Nah, you always know when it’s a caravan, it’s got a car stuck on the front! 😃😃😃

[@NGC008]

Cool flying.

“And for our take off briefing, if we lose the engine at 500, we’re fucked, if we lose it 1000 ft, we’re fucked but a little higher… any questions?”

[@WACLLC]

[@gregroelker3448]

Always my dream, unfortunately those days are gone, barring a good lotto ticket. Doesn't get better than that. That's Real flying.

[@VernBigDaddy]

I saw Bigfoot in the woods in the first clip.

[@TheDrywallogist]

Do you have too use the brakes on the wheels or is it all prop?

[@Flightstar]

Id like to see it go into Simond's. I bet it's doable if there's enough wing clearance.

[@GHerrera93]

I'll buy it.....some day

[@johnbar4126]

Guillermo Herrera if you believe you can, you can!
