Very cool! What kit is it? I had a large porter from Top model that flew very well. Clay Lacy even looked it over one time and told me some stories about his full size. Would love to do a larger one with turbo prop. Looking forward to some updates.

its from TS-modellbau, but the guy is like FEJ in reliability.... i cant recommend...

Cool man..we did one couple years ago powered by a wren 54..very slow flyer. My friend forgot to put the wing bolts and that was the end of it.

Cool project. Who manufactures the plane ?

Carbon-Customs

i just answered that question...

but remember the owner / seller is just like FEJ

Any idea how it compares to Braeuer's?

Hey Kasper,
Don't talk smack about my buddy Thomas. Comparing his one-man business to FEJ is one bridge too far.
By the way I thought that Turbo Porter was designed for a SPT-5, not a SPT15.

Regards, Bart.

i think the brauers model is nicer looking, more scale, but the TS one is bigger.


Bart...

Thomas is a nice man to talk with, thats correct.

but when you have a business YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU PROMISE!

you simply dont tell that the plane is in stock and you can send right away... and then i recieve the first parts 4 months LATER!, and 7 months later i recieve the gear, and thewn i still miss the rudder, stringers, windshields which should be here soon...

and there has been stories about the package beeing lost several times,, and lalalalala... but funny enough no track and trace number...

i simply will not trust this man.


yes its designed for a SPT 5... but what TP plane issent? - the SPT 15 is all new, but i will fit, and the plane will be used as a TOW plane, for my large 1:2,2 FOX glider,, and i want it to pull vertical

1:4 Pilatus Turbo Porter PC-6 "STOL"

I think you mean 1:4 Pilatus Turbo Porter PC-6 "VTOL"

Carbon-Customs

hehe i think you are about right on that one

but the SPT-15 comes with a thottle handle...

Thats Markham Park in Miami. A " Interesting" place to fly. I have been there for the past three years and had allot of fun there. What it lacks in clear flying area, it makes up for in atmosphere and facilities.

Yep good old Markham Park.. Good luck on your Pilatus Porter.

Time for a update.

i have now made all formers for the fuse, incl the engine spars ect.

everything is made out of 10mm lightweight plywood. all formers are 20-25mm wide all the formers have a weight at approx. 450-500g

i have done some calculations... the SPT15 should, with a 30x16 4b solo prop at 5000rpm (engine max) a thrust of 54kg, and a airspeed of 122 kmh...



time for pictures!




<-- LOL a this?

Selleri

Looking good!

Carbon-Customs

Some further progress.

The engine is mounted. the windows has been cut out. flaps and ailerons is shaped... and WOW... i have recieved the last parts from the manufacture! very fast indeed
Also got the spinner for the plane, a 1" truturn... really nice quality.

The pictures is from a show this weekend.

How much ground clearance does the prop have? From the pictures it looks very narrow, and that is with a taildragger stance without a tailwheel.

Regards, Bart.

Carbon-Customs

about 2"

the turbo porter is a 3 point lander

My Feedback: (1)

2"??!!! Damn

I hope you have a supply of new props and gearboxes coz it's going to get expensive LOL

Carbon-Customs

it was the same, with my yak with moki 250 in it.. i newer smacked the prop.. and the clearence was 1"

the 2" on the TP, is with the gear compressed, and with tail wheel

Carbon-Customs

I have made some further progress...

gear is now correct height. only angle need fixing... but that will be done when i have my hyd. brakes.

doors have been cut out. because they stood out from the fuse... and thats highly unscale.. that had to be fixed.

finally made a smooth air intake.
