Did you notice the aileron deflection during the stall recovery? Aren't they supposed to be left neutral in order to avoid inducing a spin? Or maybe I'm forgetting my instructors' admonitions (old age is a terrible thing ).

It looks like he was inverted completely on that spin. Viewing it slowly you can se the horizon upside down in the wind screen.
SNAP! Looks like fun to practice.

Had another look. Maybe it is just the fish eye lens that make it look like a snap roll.

What do you guys think about these planes? To me it seams a lot like the c-185. which is best?

It looks like an off shoot of a Found.

IT IS a found expedition E 350.

Is that a kit or production? I looked at the website and must have missed that and the cost. Now if they can stick the wheel in the back

They are a production aircraft. I saw a tailwheel version at the AOPA convention on Friday, it's supposed to be out next year. You could afford a couple of them.........they start about $450K.

Killer! My E-6 pay can pick up several! Muhahaha!

The company had one of those on display (probably that one) at our airshow in Dryden, Ontario this May. I sat in it and talked with the salesman for quite some time. On the plus side it is a new airplane, whereas the last 185 rolled off the line in 1985. It appears to be roomier than my 185, which is a little tight in shoulder room and seems to be a little easier access to the back seat. Something about it's look does not jump out and grab me, but if someone wanted to trade even up for my 30 year old machine, I am sure I could easily learn to love it. I understand they are planning on putting that plane on Aerocet floats and would assume the biggest interest for this aircraft will be for float usage, but with the option of the nose wheel it should be a crossover market. The age of the iron still being used in our area for bush operations, is a testiment to how well built the old Cessna's are, but there will be need for replacements in the future and to this point the 206 is the only new production unit in this class they have. There should be a place for this plane in the future. Steve
