Interesting, I fly an Airvan for a skydive outfit. It is fairly stable when the skydivers are exiting but you really have to anticipate the forces and the pitch during a mass exit. The trim is very low geared and takes a lot of turning. In the climb your right foot goes number keeping the ball in the middle. It needs a rudder trim. It could do with more power too.
But otherwise it's a great aeroplane to fly. Makes the pilot look good. That's important!
thanks for your comments. yeah, have heard about the trim and rudder. the plane in this vid is turbocharged, good feedback for it so far. cheers : )
