Great work Uros!
PC-6 - what a amazing aeroplane! Years ago a few of us were at Barwon Heads airfield for a aerobatics practice weekend. Anyway, we were sharing the sky with parachutists using a ex-Army PC-6 as the drop plane. Once discharging it's payload of "meat bombs", the PC-6 would stand on its nose and go into "Beta" prop using the propeller as a speed brake and do a Space Shuttle High Key/Low Key approach and landing doing what looked like a 45 degree down line. It was so weird to see as it was such a steep and yet slow decent with the prop doing the braking. On final, he'd go into the normal prop mode, land, fill up with meat bombs and t/o - up and down again and again.
