Aussieflyer38 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi Guys, Took delivery of a Kodiak 100 yesterday, just a few pics of my first flight around Brisbane. Hope to be going west tomorrow. Neat little plane, great for observation, and IMHO a long way ahead of most aircraft of this calibre available. Thanks for looking Don 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 A new bird Don. There was me thinking you had got a new lady friend on the quiet! Wonderful images of your Kodiak and I hope you enjoy it. Some splendid images around Brisbane too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Excellent shots Don Your new Kodiak will be well suited for VFR - maybe in the PNW or Alaska as well? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I'm thinking from doing high and fast to low and slow. I realize I'm missing out on a lot. Hmm tough thinking. Still I like your shots Don. cheers Gumby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Great shots in your new ride Don, and thanks for the cockpit views, I was curious if it had the G1000 but I prefer the GTN 750. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Congrats to your new bird, Don. One day, I'm sure she will beg you to hop over to PNG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiflyit Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Very good shots Don. So the modern GA available for MSFS via Orbx is the C310 and the Kodiak.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn, but haven't got the strength to keep up with a new "bird" these days, besides me wife would not be happy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, have got the PNG scheduled for the near future, watch the bush pilots a lot. Think my nav skills will need a bit of a polish before I tackle it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do like to get high every now and then - talkin about flying err aircraft that is. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack. There is just enough "work" setting it up for a flight, to make it interesting. I was also curious about how I would go getting it up - hmm don't let your imagination run wild here, reports I read was that it was a "handful" taking off, because of the engine power it had a violent left curve on accelerating, haven't experienced that, I've found it very well behaved 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said to Paul, he mentioned flying in PNW, PNG is another challenge, actually more so than PNW I think, won't even mention Alaska. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, yep and both great planes. Just love the C310, and the Kodiak is brilliant for low flying and checking out the scenery. There is just so much great stuff to see, and the Kodiak has enough things to click to keep it interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 nice shots there Don, nice plane, I have never been keen on the G1000 so haven't got this one but the Kodiak is none the less a lovely plane... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wayne. it has never bothered me much with what I have for nav so I'm okay with the G1000, and the Kodiak is a great plane to fly, which is the important part for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
