Pilatus PC21

Have had this model for a while now (well, since I last saw Big Dave's PC21 a few months ago and just had to have one more plane) This is Version 3 with upgraded all ally landing gear. Input power to prop is 1450 watts. A few little just jobs to do, set up steering and paint in the wheel wells. I am the trainee pilot sat in the front...... :lol:

Here it is hiding in the back garden.......... My wife originally thought the box contained "spare parts"

Looks really good Phil, like the six blader , what does that Wattage translate into in Watts / pound ?
Amazing what you can find in a box of spare parts !!

Five blades just like the real PC21. Prop is set for 13x10. at 13x8 it is pulling 1250 watts. Until it is flown we won't know what is the ideal prop pitch. Power to weight ratio about 2 to 1 although I have not weighed my actual model. Prop sounds like a ducted fan without the screeching.

I blame Dave Rogers cos he got one and it flies lovely just like Sebart F3As. Had to get it from Belgium before the Brexit! :lol:
