RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

At this point, the model is fully assembled except for the motor and cowl. I had to wait for the motor as it was back-ordered, but while I was out of town last week, on a business trip, It arrived,...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The cockpit inlay is nicely shaped, and has some very basic decals to dress it up. Scale enthusiasts will love this as there is a LOT of room to add details and really go all out! The canopy is...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

Cowl is a 1 piece fiberglass cowl that is thankfully not too flimsy. I think Sebart has struck a nice balance between beefy without beeing needlessly heavy. The faux exhaust pipes are glued in...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The front landing gear features an included, pre-installed nose-gear steering servo, and ready to go gear doors. pretty impressive. In my opinion, this is where you are getting a great value for...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The fusalage is just HUGE! There is so much room inside there for anything you want. I am a large person, and I have big hands. There is tons of room in there for strapping in batteries and...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

Elavator and rudder servo installation is in the tail and is very straight forward. I used 2 24" extension on these servos to get the leads back to the RX. Servo linkage hardware is nice. Locktite...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The tail feathers are a bit of a chore to put together due to their shape. The rudder is simple enough, but the horizontal stabilizer has to go into the slot AFTER you have already placed the...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The wing features some nifty little "rudder-lets" on the bottom of the wing. (I dont know what the real name is...). They are glued in place and add a neat realistic touch to things. A word of...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

Next step was to install the aileron servo's and linkages. Again, all very straight forward. Hardware quality is excellent. I use the empty plastic box from the servo as a hardware storage area...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

The wing comes as a 1 piece wing, with the retracts already installed. Very nice! The wing tips are some sort of composite and are curved up and look awesome. The canopy area is huge, has a...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

One thing that really caught my eye right out of the box was the fiberglass wing-root fairings. They are solid, and beautifully made. Very nice quality on this model. Some other popular arf...

RE: Sebart Pilatus PC21 E50 Build thread

After taking everything out of the packing box, and unwrapping it, my initial impression is that this thing is a lot "Bigger" than I thought it would be. The fuselage is just big for a 50 size...

I haven't seen many much out there yet on Sebart's new Pilatus PC21 so I thought I would do a build thread since I just got one!

RE: PA extra 260 IPA
