Salman,
I have the Seagull PC-9.
No problems putting it together and no problems with quality.
Nice touches are pilot and canopy pre installed and the flying surfaces are already attached and the hinges pinned. Flys very well even in quite windy conditions, mine has clocked up 50+ flights during the past couple of months. I am using a .45 2 stroke, that seems about right. With the control throws set with small movements would make a good 1st low wing model, but is capable of being thrown around plenty if you want.
The only negative thing I found was that the fuel tank supplied has only two outlets and with the engine cowled it's a bit of a pain getting to the carb to disconnect for filling/draining, in the end I fitted a joiner in the fuel tubing away from the carb so I could get to it at a more convenient point, If building another I would replace the tank with a three outlet type.
Hope this helps.
Simon.

The seagull Pc9 is a lovely sweet flier. Mine flies on a Saito 50 FS. You may have to alter the height of the tank to suit your particular carb. The suggested position seems vey high.
