Enjoyable video Pap. With all the mods he's done, that bird is short take off and landing machine. I think he way underestimated what he's got invested.

Having a PT6 engine, it doesn’t get much better. The plane reminds me of a Avitat.

The entire airframe and powerplant was re-designed. It's nothing like the original
Sort of taking a Corvette and transforming into a Ferrari.
Just takes a ton of money and engineers to make stuff happen. Wonder what the FAA was thinking when they granted license? I think it's a super airplane and a one off.
Never get tired of seeing cool airplanes. Got an up close view building them for the US Navy working for Grumman back in the day.

He obviously knows his aereontical engineering even without a degree. He already has many orders. It could wind up being the "Twin Otter" of the bush plane future. If you aren't familiar with the Twin Otter, then you won't appreciate that.

The Twin Otter is a great plane

My wife and I flew in the Beaver at Lake Union in Seattle to the San Juan Islands. That plane seemed so easy to fly that I felt I could jump in if I had to. Famous Last Words!
