I'd gotten used to the 206....A flying pickup truck. The 210 isn't really a sports car, but it's nearly half again as fast as the 206. So I spent about half the flight catching up to the airplane. It's easy to fly, a bit heavier in pitch, much lighter in roll. Zipping across the ridge line south of the Ngong hills is alot of fun at about 100 feet above the ground.
Tomorrow it's more 210 checkout: Short and soft field take offs and landings. The 206 is very capable with short, rough runways. Should be fun.
Next week it looks like I'll be up to Marsabit in the 210, and to Mfangano Island. We're trying to make 1 C210 do the work of 2 C206s. It's going to be a busy plane the next couple months.
