1. Savage, not sure what you're used to flying, but the 206 and 207's are pretty similar, and probably both harder to fly than what you're flying now, it's a bit of a truck.
Both require loads of AFT trim before you reduce power for landing due to the heavy front end, the normally aspirated 207 is a real dog at higher elevations, anyone experienced in one can fly the other.
2. Kubaat, I have no 208 time, I doubt if the two are remotely similar, I hope your fuel stick is nice and accurate, because when you fly those para jumper types, you won't be carrying much fuel, why, because it's a dog!
The tricks about jumping will hopefully be given to you by an experienced jump pilot, there's a little more to than you think, take good care of the engine in the descents is one of the key points, have fun.
Cheers, DL
