Congratulation Mich! Very impressive bird!
We a bit damage our PC in Flight at RusJet masters meeting, during G-force turn the canopy was blowoff from airplane, landing was safe but now need the new canopy frame with bubble :-(

hi Sergey i was away few days for business trip ,regret to hear this .lets hope they will send soon to you from CHINA.
what is the max rpm of the propeller on the air with kingtech turbine and what on the ground ?? did you check with your friend the STOL moment . what is the total weight of yours dry. did you install one tank in the plane the big one ??? i have put both in and 1 ltr smoke tank pump etc so the total dry of fuel and smoke is about 24,150 grms + 7 ltrs fuel and one lit smoke .i found the plane quiet heavy for spt-5 jetcut turbine. looking forward to your reply.
p.s few more photos.

Hi Mich,
The new canopy has ordered already a John promise to do as fast as possible, but it's take about three weeks.
We did try to check STOL at vertical climb, she fully stopped then putted left wing and nose down (it's been look's like beginning of spin, there was no unsver from aileron), but in hulf turn she start swoop down, gained speed and control was recovered. Very piloting bird!
We didn't check propeller RPM, will do next time.
About fuel tank- we use the big one (2,5 lt), more then inough, after 9 minutes of active aerobatic about 1-1.2 lt in remaining. (K-60TP 7kg trust).
Our bird take off weight ( 2,5 lt - 2,0kg fuel) is 21800.
You did great bird, but a bit heavy, she will fly but no comfortable, takes long roll up. Try to find way to drop some weight.
I think you can decrease fuel and smoke capasity to 2,5 lt fuel and 1,5 lt smoke.
Also we move CG back to 185mm and going to install iGyro and move CG bit back more, to 190-195 mm (just behind main spar, 26%).
Here is some more video PC-21 from RusJet masters 10.06.2016 - 13.06.2016 in Rostov/Don Russia:

Thanks. I noticed it was right above after I posted. Im in the early planning stages and will likely place an order in the next month. I understand it takes a while to get. This will be my first Skymaster purchase. Im leaning toward the JetCentral turboprop at the moment.

My Feedback: (15)
I viewed the videos provided by Skymaster that documents the speed performance of the PC-21 powered by the Kingtech tp 60 (290+kph) and tp100 (over 400 kph). Curious to know if anyone else flying the PC-21 powered by the Kingtech tp 60 has recorded similar speed performance with their model. If so, what you be so kind as to provide info about the speed reached and the type of propeller (diameter/ pitch,and maker) used?

The 400kph seems like a big stretch. It does not appear to be going that fast in the video to me. I think 290kph is pushing it with 60 or the 100 for that matter. Im planning my build now. I was thinking 150-160mph would be in the realm of reason. If it could hit 200mph though that would be pretty sick. Cant imagine what that would sound like in person with a 5 blade.

HI Mich,
it's better to be late than never, so my congratulation with maiden!
She looks and fly great.
What about wheels dor, have you found it?
Good luck and enjoy your bird!
I also have request for you- my frend is very interesting how you organize the smoke system in your Pilatus. Would you be so kind to do some pictures and send to me. My e-mail: [email protected]
Kind regards,
Sergey

Sergey, the smoke pump is from powerbox that feeding two smoke tube injectors. http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/...Injectors-Long
one hole is been drilled on the exhaust and the tube going in 1/3 of the exhaust diameter.
Michael is on holidays ,ill let him know about the photos you ask!
