I have started to build the pc -6 and was wondering if anybody has built one.

Good morning scpt,

I too have started my PC-6 last weekend. I posted on r/c scale builder and asked if anyone had any experiences with this a/c and have yet to receive a response.
I purchased the lazer lizard short kit and bought my wood from Lone Star Balsa (they were super fast on shipment).
What engine are you going to use? I was thinking about a us 41.
I also have received all the metal for the landing gear parts from On-line Metals.
Best get back to the space race and keep those launch vehicles at 100% successful.

Let's keep in touch since we are evidently the only ones working on this project.

Hello Harry,

I also got me short kit from laserlizard.
I plan on using the cheetah 41 with electronic ignition which is the same
as the US.
Do you have the new or the old plans? I have the old plans which builds from
bottom to top, the new one you build the fus half on their sides.
I will put some pictures up soon.

Good morning scpt,

I have the new plans that build a left side and then add the right side formers, stringers, and sheeting to it. Everything fits perfectly!
I have been building r/c planes for 36 years and this is the most enjoyable build (so far) that I can remember. I suppose I should put some pics up also if I can figure out how.
The fuse is mostly framed up and I am adding the servo trays right now. I am also going to add a glider tow release and a banner release before I sheet up the fuse. I am going to put some blind nuts in the cabin floor so that I can add jumpers, cameras, or whatever to the inside.
I'm anxious to see your pics.

Gotta go for now. Nice to hear from you,

Harry

I too have the PC6 from Martin and the Laser Lizard short kit. Havent started yet though, always something comes up []. If anyone has opportunity to post some pics as they go would be great.

Mine is the new kit too. Anyone have any comments regarding using a ST3000 or 3250 in this bird?

Hi tks1

I also just started building the pc6 from aerodessign, and i have also considered using a ST3250 with a long tune pipe.

But i dont know if its enough power!

Does anyone have a opinion on this subjekt ?

Hi guys,

I've been contrubiting to a build thread: 124 posts so far

thank you for the link.

Do you think tha at ST3250 has enough power for the 120" PC6?

Might be on the lower edge of the power window. Simco in post #123 says a Zenoah G-45 flys scalelike.
