Default RE: Seagull PC-9 120 size...


Hi,

I am looking at this model also. It is available in Australia for $399 . This includes the mechanical ( metal ) retracts. As you can see, it is finished in the RAAF aerobatic team colours, the Roulettes.

There are a coulpe of issues that I am looking at. In your Sussex Model Centre data, it states that it requires a 120 2stroke or 160 4 stroke. Now if the model comes out at 11 or 12 lbs. ( as stated in the above data ) then surely a 120 4 stroke would be adequate. I am flying a 15lb. 72" Spitfire with a 120 and it's fine . Any thoughts on this ?

Another issue is the size of the pilots. ! Too big. Easy to fix but a shame that they didn't get it right.

I don't suppose anyone has any 3 views of the PC9 ?? I've had a quick search but nothing so far .

Cheers,
Merlin Man.
