lazerq3 0 #1 January 19, 2002 The last few jumps I have had have been outa a suuper otter, and tomorrow (weather permitting) I'll be jumping out of a caravan till march. This may sound stupid but I'm starting to miss jumping outa our cesnas. (our DZ is closed for the winter). I miss being able to climb out around the strut like a monkey and stacking 4 to 5 people out at once!!! Call me crazy but ...........I WANT MY 182!!!!!!!. Coarse I imagine when we do open back up and I've been jumping the 182 and 206 I'll be saying damn I miss those big planesjason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #4 January 19, 2002 I kinda miss jumping Cessnas too... you're not alone Jason. Hey, you can't really kiss an Otter pilot on your way out the door! The smaller group just seems more intimate to me too (no Clay, not that kind of intimate...)pull and flare,lisa-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkM 0 #13 January 19, 2002 QuoteThis may sound stupid but I'm starting to miss jumping outa our cesnas. Not crazy at all. Been a year and a half since jumping and I can still feel the way those cesnas reacted to body movements. A student swings out onto the wing and the whole plane leans right. The student lets go and the plane wobbles around a little until it gets stable.Hell. One joke my instructor used to play was that after the plane took off and had some altitude, he'd reach up and pull one of the wing's control lines that ran overhead through the cockpit.The plane would tilt and it'd scare the shit out of a first time jumpers.And can you batwing off an Otter? I don't think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #14 January 19, 2002 QuoteAnd can you batwing off an OtterThats one thing I'd like to try this year. But I'm kinda nervous that I wouldnt get out for enough and drop off and smack my head on the wheel ! Do you get pretty far out when you do those?jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jabeln79 0 #15 January 19, 2002 Missing your cessna. I didnt think i would hear anyone say that. YOu cant get14k in a cessna. I miss the king air. ITs winter hear in st . louis so everyone thinks its too cold to go to full alti.. I cant wait for summer to get back up to 14k. 4k just isnt the same. although i geuss anyalti is good alti.

MarkM 0 #16 January 19, 2002 QuoteBut I'm kinda nervous that I wouldnt get out for enough and drop off and smack my head on the wheel ! The wheel on a cesna is right near the exit. You'd be hanging upside down in the middle of the wing, same place students do their hanging exits, so there's not really any chance of hitting anything when you drop.I've just seen pictures of it done, although I got an instructor up in Indiana who promised to show me how to do it. One of these years I'm gonna look him up and take him up on that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #17 January 19, 2002 Are you kidding, a 182 feels like home to me. Yeah it's cramped and yeah it's slow, but damnit, they're fun. And you can do some fun exits off them too.

lazerq3 0 #18 January 19, 2002 QuoteYeah it's cramped and yeah it's slow, but damnit, they're fun. And most importantly .....less room for "foul air" to travel and disapate before everyone gets a good dosage!!!F%CKING CESSNAS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #19 January 19, 2002 Also at our DZ we'll do two plane luanches where are planes will fly together and in the 182 we luanch the base and in the 206 all the swoopers come down to dock on us. Thats fun as hell!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
