It's kinds funny how people are on here talking bad about this plane. I work at quest and the Caravan is NOTHING LIKE THE KODIAK. There are alot of features on the Kodiak that the Caravan can not touch, Look at some of the video's on Youtube, The Kodiak has taken off in as short as 290 feet, yes it was empty but lets see the Caravan do that. thats the only thing I haft to say, Dont bash on a plane that is ment to do good in this world.

It looks with full fuel, Kodiak carries more with 1260lbs vs 1090 for the Caravan 675; flies further 1075 vs 946 nm; take off/land in much shorter distance; same cruise at around 190kts; and cheaper to buy and burns less fuel per hour. So it beats Caravan in every espect.Of course, these all based on the published specs. Hope it will hold true in real world.It will be an ultimate toy for people with some money.

hey guys, quest didn't set out to copy the caravan at all. after doing extensive research they found that design was best suited for the intentions of what the airplane was being designed to do. if you want to haul a bunch of weight and use up 1200ft of runway the caravan is a better choice. but if you're in a jungle in central or south america and only have at best just under 1000 ft the caravan is a life saver. right now they use c-206's for this and they can't haul as much as a kodiak.

Congratulations to all the folks at Quest! So many people have been following the progress & praying for you all. I am looking forward to many a long trip in the Kodiak. May Quest prosper & the Kodiak serve well...
