This is the 3rd improved version of this popular series of Porter PC-6 tow planes. It basically shares the same airframe as the predecessor 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) *Fiberglas moulded instrument panel, for a more realistic interior *New curved scale windshield *New scheme in SkyDive PARA CENTER
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.
