jonstark 8 #1 November 29, 2005 Which of these Cessnas do you prefer for different types of jumps and why? P206 with front door and step or U206 with rear cargo door. thx, jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,116 #2 November 29, 2005 Hated the U206 for AFF and SL. AFF launches are awkward and SL exits are almost invariably bad, since you have to do a hip check/twist/arch sort of thing on exit. For RW - not bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is OK for tandems (yes slow), not bad for S/L (yes lots of line twists) but that is about it. also, fine for hop n pops! rm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #4 November 30, 2005 the view is better with the U, esp if you're first or second out. Haven't done enough jumps to get the exit down nicely. I just fall out and recover. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
