PC-6 Porter

WITH CHARACTER OOZING FROM EVERY JOINT, DAVID ASHBY JUST

COULDN’T RESIST SEAGULL’S FLYING TRUCK

o you ever crave something a

bit different from all the

Edges, Extras, Yaks and

Sukhois that seem to abound at ﬂ ying

sites these days? Something with a

bit more character? If so, then the

latest release from Seagull Models

might be right up your street. Granted

it’s no all-out aerobat, however the

company’s Pilatus PC-6 Porter is well

made, sensibly-sized and packs more

than a little character.

Taking to the sky for the ﬁ rst time

more than 50 years ago, the Porter

(which very quickly received an

engine upgrade and became the

Turbo Porter) was designed as a

multi-purpose STOL (Short Take Off

and Landing) aircraft. Over 550 have

since been built and it remains in

production to this day. The

PC-6 is a

very capable aeroplane that can carry

large or awkward loads; Mel Gibson’s

character ﬂ ew one in the ﬁ lm Air

America and other examples are

often seen servicing remote - and

sometimes ridiculously inclined -

third world landing strips. All told,

you just have to love the Porter’s

distinctive styling, especially that

no-nonsense ﬁ n and stabiliser.

Seagull’s 63” (1600mm) span

version is based on PH-JFL, a stunning

photo of which can be seen on the

Pilatus website: www.pilatus-aircraft.

com. The model is made from

laser-cut balsa and ply, designed for

electric or i.c. power, and is covered in

a very effective printed, aluminium

effect Oracover that includes rivet and

panel line detail.

Now, it’s normally fair to say that

electric-powered models don’t sound

as good as their four-stroke, i.c.

powered equivalents, but if you’ve

ever seen and heard a turbo prop

aircraft then you’ll know that a nice

It’s great to see an

unusual subject like

this from one of the

larger ARTF

manufacturers.

Although designed

for i.c. or electric

power, expect to

remove plenty of

material from the

cowl if ﬁ tting a glow

engine.
