Ahh, you're the one with the helio. I've been watching your
transition progress.

Sure climbs steep. Only plane on the field that seems to climb
steeper is our Kodiak but then again 3000fpm is hard to beat

Mike, you should read the article in Sport Aviation about the modified
Helio two guys created. It has a 750 horsepower turbine and extended
wings. It also has the most hilariously outlandish landing gear I've
ever seen. The main wheels are knobby mud and snow truck tires and
the nose gear is off an F-101 Voodoo. It's got a stack of train horns
attached to the nose gear. They're there just for fun effect. They
use them on short final to scatter the wildlife from back country
landing strips. They defined "wildlife" as their friends who were
already on the ground... ;-)
