Thursday at 02:15 AM3 days The marketplace version has been updated.Flies like a different plane, in a good way! Much more stable and predictable... in the past I was always fighting with the rudder/rudder trim to try and keep it coordinated. Now I can set full right rudder trim on takeoff and not touch it again until cruise. Turns don't send the turn coordinator flying all over the place anymore, I can easily predict how much rudder it needs. Pattern work was much less work than prior to the update.Short final was also predictable. I won't resurrect the Kodiak vs BS Caravan thread, but @sd_flyer , you can now bring this bird in fully loaded at 75kts without falling from the sky. I floated it to test the stall speed and it matched up to the speed tape, although I don't think it's normal to bring it in that slow IRL (and controls were unbearably sluggish at those speeds).I just did some pattern work and a quick skydive career mission to make sure that was fixed (it was), but my initial impressions were good. The Kodiak has been collecting dust in my hangar, but suffice to say I will be flying it a bit more now. I'd encourage anyone else who has shelved it to give it another go!
