Some great replies guys. Thank you so much. I just learnt that the potential (not guranteed yet) jump job had an accident yesterday. The Sunday Mail reported the 206 nose dived at the end of the runway after the pilot aborted take off.

Its great to see the company owner supporting the pilots decision in this case especially since its the first minor incident in 27 years - everyone was ok and the pilot was ambo trained so he got everyone out and checked them over.

The pilot wasnt confident with how the plane was handling prior to take off. Maybe someone may have time to track down the story for us - I have to get back to the real job now.

Cheers again folks.
