Default Pilatus Porter Finished !

I'm in on this guy. I like the construction a lot. I did have to iron down some of the covering, especially in the middle of the fuse, but not as much as a lot of ARFs.

I am setting mine up to be a glider tug/candy dropper/parachute drop plane.

The tow rig will be at the back of the top hatch. I also cut a BIG bomb bay door in the bottom of the plane. I glued in some ply reinforcement. and cut two bb doors. I am working on setting them up with a release so they open on gravity.

I am putting a BME 2.7 in mine. It is a very light engine and powerful. I have it mounted on a Hanger 9 120 size alum mount.

I'll try to post some pics later.

Jim!
