Seagull Pilatus PC-9 1.20 version
 

Probably going to purchase this plane in the very near future. Just wondering if anyone has built/flown one of these yet?. If so how was everything...

This is one sweet flying plane!

The manual is a bit lacking for assembly, but if you've assembled a couple of ARFs, you'll have no troubles.

Mine had the Evolution 1.20 NX mounted inverted, but a DLE 20 or Zenoah G-20 would be awesome in the nose.

The mechanical retracts were easy to set up, and fit and finish were great over all.

Great flying model, looks great in the air and handles like a pattern machine.

I replaced the supplied retracts with eflites 60-120

Thanks for the input, I am going with spektrum servos and probably an OS/EVO 1.20, was also thinking of a Super Tiger G2350 any other suggestions...

This is mine and a mates.
Mine ahs a CRRC GP26R up front and I've changed out the retract as well. Had heaps of trouble with the ones supplied.
My mate has a DLE-30 up front and get to get the Std retracts working.
We like to try and fly in formation. He has a little more speed than mine as the DLE-30 is swinging a 18x10 and the GP26R is swinginf a 17x8.
These Aircraft fly great. Just fun to fly.....

Cheers

Hi,

I also scrapped the supplied pilots in favour of more scale ones. These are Aces of Iron 1/5 scale ones from the US.
Mine has an OS 120 AX and has heaps of power .


Cheers,

Thanks for all the input. For sure one of things I was going to change is the pilots. The ones supplied don't look very scale like. Other than that will go with the stock retracts and see how they perform. I know the whole retracts thing is hit and miss, one bad landing can make for a whole lot of trouble after wards but they do look good on airplanes.
