Introduction

Pilatus PC-6 Tiger 2720mm (107″) Wingspan – ARF from Nexa – NXA1028-001

The Pilatus PC-6 Porter is a single-engined STOL utility aircraft designed by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. First flown in 1959, it has been built in both piston engine and turboprop-powered versions and was produced under license for a time by Fairchild Hiller in the United States. After around 600 deliveries in six decades, Pilatus produced the last one in early 2019.

The Nexa Pilatus PC-6 is a electric or gas option 30cc-size civil airplane with a 2720mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes fully functional flaps, fiberglass cowl, operational pilot and read doors and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. Impress at your flying field with this unique civil flyer!
