I think he should prioritize the videos being fun and casual but then put the raw numbers somewhere in the description or on his website for people who really want to dig in and do a detailed comparison
Simple change to the bar graphs that doesn't require a change in style: Just put the number for the bar next to it vertically, read by tilted your head to the left. That way you can still see the relative bars to each of them, but those who want to see the numbers still have them right there.
Things I like about this video in particular: 1. Competitor comparison in context of mission 2. "What is a bushplane" philosophy 3. Cool colorful comparison charts 4. pixelated_explosion.gif
Would like to see the Avanti, for people who would prefer something more stylish than a king air but who are “vertically challenged” 🤣. * * I have no idea if that is correct, just the impression I get from walking past them ☺️🤣
You're missing a big point of the Kodiak. It can take off out of much smaller and tougher strips than the 208 can. It really was designed as a bigger Cessna 206 that can operate in the same places, mostly for the purposes of missionary work. It's a niche role, but other than that it's just an off airport TBM as far as Daher is concerned, hence the more "TBM" style Kodiak 900.
Love your graphics. They are smooth and so clean! I didn’t mind the new bar graphs. I think it works well when comparing aircraft. Grew video. To bad I’ll never have that much money.
I like the graphs; just seeing numbers next to each other can be hard to contextualize. I see not everyone is a fan, though. Maybe there is a better graphical manner than bar graphs? Range as range circles over some area, climb rate as relative slopes of lines, I’m not sure… Really enjoy your videos, and look forward to the next!
for me, going backwards and just looking at the bar graphs they are perfectly understandable and make sense, but while watching the video i just couldnt grasp how they work in the time i was given.
Your little text at the bottom of the bear graphic should read Kodiak UL not DC Ps I love these vids keep ‘em comin G’day from Aus How bout a P68c next?
From what I've seen Kodiak: unimproved runways in mountainous terrain Caravan: Small trips with cargo (FedEx and UPS feeders) Grand Caravan: Island hopping moving mostly people
Some local politician where I live owns & flies one of these. I was curious to see how much he spends on it and, lol, you really do have to be in politics to approach this kind if airplane huh
Caravans like mentioned in the vid aren't being built anymore. Today they are Supervans with 950hp engines. They are stronger, faster, better fuel economy compared to the Kodiak.
0:44 I had to pause, I was laughing too hard.
The half-kodiak is a classic. Runways are optional for 100's. Landing places even shaped like runways are also optional. It's a beast. :)
I much prefer the old style when presenting performance numbers.
I prefer this. I came here to laugh. More bears please
Agree! Or maybe add the numbers on the graph so we can glance that info

2.5 Kodiak just got me going! I appreciate the googly eyes that you did for the Kodiaks. Nicely done once again!
New CW video (and in a new format) is a damn good birthday gift!

Nice video, as always, expanding my little knowledge in G.A.
In the meantime, i'll keep proposing a video on the Piaggio Avanti, as i always do
Suggesting a video of the Piaggio is my job actually!! Especially since he did the Kodiak video, which was also my job. :)

All future aircraft useful loads should be expressed graphically in units of Kodiak!
Lsa's would just be a severed head

Am I? I said it takes off shorter. As for tougher, does it? What makes you think so?
He said shorter. Tougher.. doubtful
Dude, this was the funniest video I’ve seen you make. Love that.
Kodiak’s are built in my hometown Sandpoint, Idaho.
Great video! Any chance you’d do one on a DC-3?
Love your graphics. They are smooth and so clean! I didn’t mind the new bar graphs. I think it works well when comparing aircraft. Grew video. To bad I’ll never have that much money.
These videos are getting better every time, I'm just here for the laughs at this point
Kodiak has a window for every passenger seat which is a benefit for certain operators especially in tourism
The caravan rides smoother
Would love to see a video on the Eclipse 500 and its numbers compared to the vision jet!
For the love of God we need a DC-3 video yesterday
We need a DC3 video! We need it
The bear drawings are hilarious 😂
this guy is twisted like us 🤪
Great video! Can you do a cost to own for a 737 or a Boeing BBJ please

Would love an SW-51 video!! Love your stuff
Heck Yeah! The 4x4 surburban!
Your little text at the bottom of the bear graphic should read Kodiak UL not DC
Ps I love these vids keep ‘em comin
G’day from Aus
How bout a P68c next?
do the pawnee next. (for gliding clubs and farms)
The bear cartoons! Amazing haha, made me chuckle!
Can you do the Cessna Skycourier?
And what about the Pilatus Porter PC-6 in comparaison?
I started this video with a PC6 instead of a grand caravan. But PC6 doesn't really compare in any category. Kodiak and Caravan are much more airplane
@@CompleteWalkaround Haha I get your point its more of a bush plane than those ones
Can u make about Aerion lighting XS and LS1 ?
Lovely video 👍🏻
Thank you for your videos! 👍
Do a DC-3 video!
Hay can you please do a Pietenpol Air Camper cost to own?
very good as always, champ next?
From what I've seen
Kodiak: unimproved runways in mountainous terrain
Caravan: Small trips with cargo (FedEx and UPS feeders)
Grand Caravan: Island hopping moving mostly people
MIG-29 plz 🙏
Now I want a dc-3, why do I want a dc-3? I have no need for a dc-3. Why?
2.5 Kodiaks, that's bearly anything ;-)
Just because you can't put it on floats is no reason to disregard the Kodiak 900
do you think you could do a video on one or some of the various 1/2 or 2/3 replica warbirds. (you already squashed my dreams with the spitfire video)
Awesome
Engaging Comment!!
Saw a Kodiak yesterday here in Nigeria 🇳🇬
The plane looks bigger than in the video
Msfs calls it Day-Er
Some local politician where I live owns & flies one of these. I was curious to see how much he spends on it and, lol, you really do have to be in politics to approach this kind if airplane huh
codiac
Doesn’t Textron own both Daher and Cessna? So, the parent company is competing against itself?
Nope 😀
Kodiak, when you want to buy a Twin Otter and a TBM 960
Do hot air balloons please
100 000/year ? So it's just as expensive if not worse than a boat
That depends entirely on the type of boat
Worse... much much worse.
Pronounced Dare. Had a boss with the name.
half kodiak. that's hilarious.
Caravans like mentioned in the vid aren't being built anymore. Today they are Supervans with 950hp engines. They are stronger, faster, better fuel economy compared to the Kodiak.
Cessna 100% makes a 675 hp Caravan today
Supervans? That's a mod. I fly a nearly new Grand Caravan EX with 867 SHP. Nice, but not the most powerful Caravan out there.
