Pilatus Turbo Porter 1016mm

Porter and his modernized version Turbo Porter with a turboprop engine, the Swiss company Pilatus belongs since 1959, when the first prototype flew, a permanent fixture among small transport aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL). In addition to the parent plant it produced under license from American company Fairchild-Hiller and Porter / Turbo Porter is also due to spread to the military air forces around the world as well as honestly and faithfully serve the "small services" over deserts and snow-covered plains. Everywhere there is to certify the ability to take off from the untreated surface of the length of a football field (factory pilots parent company, but it also managed to half the distance); Large doors facilitate cargo handling, as well as planting paratroopers. Pilatus Porter also holds the world record in altitude take-off and landing fixed wing aircraft (Dhaulagiri Glacier, 5750 m above sea level).

Designers of American companies DUMAS Aircraft is the ideal machine for modelers who already has at least basic experience in building small models powered by rubber or piloting gliders and RC model controlled rudder and elevator. You will improve in the building "žbrdličkové" skeleton of the fuselage and wings, paper coating and painting - it's due to highly preprocessed laser-carved works like clockwork.

RC kit semiscales Swiss light transport designed for high wing aircraft powered by an electric motor. The model is simple but classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with laser carved wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic parts drawn by plastic injection molding and metal. The hull is constructed of conventional technologies minimaketářskou sides of balsa wood glued beams that connect polopřepážkami and bars in the lattice frame. The resulting shapes get stuck after several additional stringers. The wing is a classic design from the spars and ribs, tail out of balsa wood strips and laser-carved parts. The whole model can drag the paper supplied in the kit or a suitable lightweight iron sheets with little shrinkage, such as Airspan or Litespan.

Bird Dog is designed to drive a small DC motor with gear - e.g. powertrain GWS which is marked on the plan. Nowadays probably choose small AC motor - in this case you will have to redesign the motor mount (insert new motor mount from 2 mm birch plywood), but it should not pose a serious problem. For relaxed flying just class motor AXI 2208, and two cells Li-poly 800 mAh. "Namotorování" We recommend overdoing it - it's a park-flyer, not a rocket.

Kit includes: laser carved balsa parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum-molded parts (bonnet ...), clear plastic film to "glazing" cab, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, lightweight foam wheels, colored lining paper sheet of stickers , construction plan.
