The
Pilatus Turbo Porter
PC-6
is famous in the aviation world for its Short Take-off and Landing
(STOL)
performance on almost any type of terrain. (click on the link for more
details).
This airframe is the super scale version of our
current 3.2m PC-6. It basically shares the same airframe and is also perfect as a tug, but also a joy
to fly and see!
Accurately reproduced with its typical shape, and has great handling.
The generous flaps will allow steep dive back, without acceleration, and
make a soft land at your feet, thanks the shock absorbed landing gear,
and get an other glider on tow quickly.
A pure pleasure to fly!
Here the the major differences between the
standard version and this super scale version:
*Slightly increased wingspan, thanks the new
fibreglass moulded wing tips
*Sheet metal reproduction on all control surfaces (elevator, rudder,
ailerons and flaps)
*Two new sliding cargo doors with improved mechanism
*Two cabin doors that open like full size
*Fiberglas moulded instrument panel, for a more realistic interior
*New curved scale windshield
*New scheme in white and orange from the EAGLES PARA CENTER
*No wheels supplied
This is a very quick build kit, all major assembly
work, to make sure that wing stab and rudder will be installed square,
has been done at factory. Requires no less then 20 hours to complete.

Equipped
with a 50 to 80cc engine it will fly like a trainer and very scale. For towing
the DA85 has proven to be the best choice. The kit features large flaps,
and a nice scale touch with the sliding door, that allows access to a
large storage, where you can install a camera for example.
The kit includes the two release mechanism for aerotowing.
Electric tug is also possible with now the famous
Plettenberg Preadator 30-8,
it will tow 25-40lbs gliders to sky's limit.
This Pilatus has proven to be
a great tug for gliders up to 55lbs.
