Hey Lionheart,
Flying Magazine has a write up of the Kodiak this month. Their on line version looks at the Quest factory. Lot's of in construction type photo's.

Many thanks TeaSea,
Should be interesting. I'll run up later and see if I can find it.
I have a gazillion photos that the factory was kind enough to send over on CD's. If I could increase the mesh of the poly counts, I would add the engine, but Ive maxed out the model already.
I think I will call this one the 'Humvee' or 'Hummer' of General Aviation. The thing is built like a tank and built for a long service lifespan.
There are some cool video's on Kodiaks at YouTube if you get a chance to go over there. Some cool footage of grass short field landings.

Can't wait to see it when you're done....Love to be able to afford a real one (sigh).

They are sharp planes.. Harrison Ford was looking at one at Oshkosh. I wonder if he is thinking of selling the Beaver and getting one?
The manager emailed me the other day. They are up to a plane every two weeks in production. Thats a LOT of work. Good to hear.
