Here is the reply from VQ Models;

Jim Ogorek:
Thank you for your inquiry! We actually have had a small sample of the new VQ (same company as AIR LOISIRS) Pilatus Porter! We flew it at Bomber Field in June ! They are very nice models of the famous AIR AMERICA STOL PORTER! THey do not have flaps but they do have (2) Aileron Servos that can be made into FLAPERONS! Attached are the pictures of the model we have and currently fly with a 3 blade prop and a .40 2 stroke side mounted....This will fly the airplane at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and climb like crazy at full throttle!!
BTW here is a link to a Pilot who lives and bought one in Europe and then added flaps and lots of extra details onto it ...very striking!!

If you and your friends would like to order them you may . The cost is $185 and you would need to leave a deposit of $50 for each plane. THe deposit will be applied to the Purchase of the Porter. The Pilatus Porters are scheduled to arrive around October with the next shipment of our WARBIRDS. We also have a new
ME-109 E COMING OUT! 60" WINGSPAN!
If you have any other questions let us know...and please share the pictures with your friends//

Thanks for your consideration!
