Porter and its upgraded version Turbo Porter turboprop engine with Swiss firm Pilatus has been one since 1959, when the first prototype flew, a permanent fixture among small transport aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL). In addition to the parent plant it in the license produced by the American firm Fairchild-Hiller and Porter / Turbo Porter is also due to the spread of military aircraft around the world as well as honestly and faithfully serve in the "low traffic" over deserts and snow-covered plains. Everywhere has proven ability to take off from untreated areas on the length of a football field (factory pilots parent company, but it also managed to half the distance); big doors facilitate cargo handling, as well as the dropping of parachutists. Pilatus Porter also holds the world record for the highest take-off and landing fixed wing aircraft (Dhaulagiri glacier, 5750 m above sea level).
Kit free-flying mock high-wing light transport in 1:24 for operation of a rubber harness. Model is a classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with laser vyřezávanýmii wooden parts, scale accessories from vacuum-molded plastic parts and plastic injection molding drawn by (wheels, propeller). The hull is constructed right minimaketářskou technology with baffles and a plurality of longitudinal, allowing faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes. Built in two steps - thanks to "slit" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then the "dolepíte" half a second. This ensures that the hull rounded shapes stand straight and symmetrical, without the need for any special preparations. Since it is a small - albeit quite simple - model, you should already have prior experience with classical building and test-flying models powered by rubber.
TurboPorter is also suitable for conversion to RC model with electric drive - although a construction plan does not offer this option for more experienced modeller would not be a big problem.
Kit includes: Laser cut balsa parts, balsa wood beams, vacuum molded parts Scale (bonnet ...), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness (5x1mm rubber), plastic wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, covering paper, wet decal sheet, building plan.
