MarkM 0 #4 January 30, 2002 Damn dude, that's a whuffo question if I ever heard one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mountainman 0 #5 January 30, 2002 Good call, Viking! I dont think I've ever seen a plane made out of so many different planes. I guess that captures the whole "Franken" part, eh? Although, I've heard many good things about it, so I wouldn't worry too much. JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook.

That plane was built as a jumpship, what isn't necessary for safe flight and jumping isn't there. I believe that it is significantly lighter than other Otters, but that might just be rumor...Someone correct me if I'm wrong.-Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kris 0 #11 January 30, 2002 Hey!

I told the story of my Mom's first trip out to the DZ and how she commented she was scared to see the plane we jumped out of. I wasn't worried cuz we normally jumped from a kingair that looked good. Suprise!!! Frankenotter shows up.!But now this statement>>> "holy crap is that thing safe??"Got me thinking."whuffo you jump out dem planes?" umm hey dumbass look at this thing I'm friggin amazed it takes off and my faith doesn't run deep so I am damn sure not gonna try landing in it!!kwak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PalmettoTiger 1 #14 January 30, 2002 OK, I count 6 different paint schemes there. 2 on the nose, then the pilot's door and tail section are a third, body is 4th, engines are 5th, and emergency door (starboard side, visible on another picture) makes 6.PTiger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyhi 24 #15 January 30, 2002 Quotehey i just don't want it to fall apart until it gets to atleast 5 grand!!

It's a fast plane, but the "is it safe" comments are exactly why there has been talk of re-painting it. The FAA always pulls it over (in a manner of speaking) when it flies through a major airport.

Maybe the owners could have a paintjob contest and put the name of the artist real small somewhere and then give the first jump out of it them. That would be pretty sweetass. Also, if they had like a $5 registration fee, they could eat up a LITTLE of the cost to paint it.Just me dreaming. Heh heh heh....JumpinDuo.com...come and sign the guestbook.
