IntroductionThe model Midi Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter was constructed by Flitework for the advanced beginner, but also for the connoisseurs among the model pilots. In addition to the shockabsorbing scale landing gear inspires this model by its elegant Red Bull design and excellent flight characteristics. The model is covered with screen-printed, high quality film. The original plane is used by the Flying Bulls for bringing up parachute jumpers.

Attention please!Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, flying and servicing such models, you need a high grade of technical comprehension and liability.Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and material damage.Because the Flitework GmbH has no influence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the flight device, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers.

Flitework quatilyWe, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and flyability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS1. Your Pilatus PC6-S should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Pilatus PC6-S if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

2.You must assemble the model according to the instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in a unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct.

3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-class condition and a correctly sized engine and components (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.

6. You must check the operation of the model before every flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they show any signs of wear or fatigue.

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you should fly the model only with the help of a competent, experienced R/C pilot.

8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, if the plane will be used for extremly hight stress flying, such as racing, or if an engine larger than one in the recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to reinforce the hight stress points and/or substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.

9. WARNING: The cowl and wheel pants included in this kit are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into a part to remove fiberglass dust, as the dust will blow back into your eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding fiberglas parts. Vacuum the parts and work area thoroughly after working with fiberglass parts.

BALANCE THE MODEL (C.G.)

More than any other factor, the C.G. (balance point) can have the greatest eff ect on how a model fl ies and may determine whether or not your fi rst fl ight will be successful. If you value this model and wish to enjoy it for many fl ights, DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS IMPORTANT PROCEDURE. A model that is not properly balanced will be unstable and possibly unfl yable.

At this stage the model should be in ready-to-fl y condition with all of the systems in place including the engine, landing gear, covering and the radio system.

❍ 1. Use a felt-tip pen or 1/8"-wide tape to accurately mark the C.G. on the top of the wing. The C.G. is located 72.5 mm (2.9 ") back from the leading edge of the wing.

72.5mm/2.9 in.

❍ 2. With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the model installed (ready to fl y) and with batteries in position, place the model upside-down on a Great Planes CG Machine, or lift it upside-down at the balance point you marked.

❍ 3. If the tail drops, the model is “tail heavy” and the battery pack and/or receiver must be shifted forward or weight must be added to the nose to balance. If the nose drops, the model is “nose heavy” and the battery pack and/or receiver must be shifted aft or weight must be added to the tail to balance. If possible, relocate the battery pack and receiver to minimize or eliminate any additional ballast required. If additional weight is required, nose weight may be easily added by using a “spinner weight” (GPMQ4645 for the 1 oz. weight, or GPMQ4646 for the 2 oz. weight). If spinner weight is not practical or is not enough, use Great Planes (GPMQ4485) “stick-on” lead. A good place to add stick-on nose weight is to the fi rewall (don't attach weight to the cowl–it is not intended to support weight). Begin by placing incrementally increasing amounts of weight on the bottom of the fuse over the fi rewall until the model balances. Once you have determined the amount of weight required, it can be permanently attached. If required, tail weight may be added by cutting open the bottom of the fuse and gluing it permanently inside.

GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

CHECK THE CONTROL DIRECTIONS

❏ 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws that hold on the servo arms.

❏ 2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

❏ 3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

Note: Do not rely upon the adhesive on the back of the lead weight to permanently hold it in place. Over time, the adhesive may softern and cause the weight to fall off. Use #2 sheet metal screws, RTV silicone or epoxy to permanently hold the weight in place.

❍ 4. IMPORTANT: If you found it necessary to add any weight, recheck the C.G. after the weight has been installed.

BALANCE THE MODEL LATERALLY

❏❏ ❏ 1. With the wing level, have an assistant help you lift the model by the engine propeller shaft and the bottom of the fuse under the TE of the fin. Do this several times.

❏❏ ❏ 2. If one wing always drops when you lift the model, it means that side is heavy. Balance the airplane by adding weight to the other wing tip. An airplane that has been laterally balanced will track better in loops and other maneuvers.

SET THE CONTROL THROWS

Use a ruler to accurately measure and set the control throw of each control surface as indicated in the chart that follows. If your radio does not have dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the low rate settings.NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the elevators, rudder and ailerons.

PREFLIGHT

IDENTIFY YOUR MODELNo matter if you fly at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or if you fly somewhere on your own, you should always have your name, address, telephone number and AMA number on or inside your model. It is required at all AMA R/C club flying sites and AMA sanctioned flying events. Fill out the identification tag on the decal sheet and place it on or inside your model.

CHARGE THE BATTERIESFollow the battery charging instructions that came with your radio control system to charge the batteries. You should always charge your transmitter and receiver batteries the night before you go flying and at other times as recommended by the radio manufacturer.

NOTE: Checking the condition of your receiver battery pack is highly recommended. All battery packs, whether it's a trusty pack you've just taken out of another model, or a new battery pack you just purchased, should be cycled, noting the discharge capacity. Oftentimes, a weak battery pack can be identified (and a valuable model saved!) by comparing its actual capacity to its rated capacity. Refer to the instructions and recommendations that come with your cycler. If you don't own a battery cycler, perhaps you can have a friend cycle your pack and note the capacity for you. gemessenen.

BALANCE PROPELLERS

Carefully balance your propeller and spare propellers before you fly. An unbalanced prop can be the single most significant cause of vibration that can damage your model. Not only will engine mounting screws and bolts loosen, possibly with disastrous effect, but vibration may also damage your radio receiver and battery. Vibration can also cause your fuel to foam, which will, in turn, cause your engine to run hot or quit

We use a Top Flite® Precision Magnetic Prop Balancer™ (TOPQ5700) in the workshop and keep a Great Planes Finger-tip Prop Balancer (GPMQ5000) in our flight box.

RANGE CHECKGround check the operational range of your radio before the first flight of the day. With the transmitter antenna collapsed and the receiver and transmitter on, you should be able to walk at least 100 feet away from the model and still have control. Have an assistant stand by your model and, while you work the controls, tell you what the control surfaces are doing. Repeat this test with the engine running at various speeds with an assistant holding the model, using hand sig-nals to show you what is happening. If the control surfaces do not respond correctly, do not fly! Find and correct the problem first. Look for loose servo connections or broken wires, corro-ded wires on old servo connectors, poor solder joints in your battery pack or a defective cell, or a damaged receiver crystal from a previous crash.

ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONSFailure to follow these safety precautions may resultin severe injury to yourself and others.

❍ Get help from an experienced pilot when learning to operate engines.

❍ Use safety glasses when starting or running engines. ❍ Do not run the engine in an area of loose gravel or sand;

the propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes.

❍ Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the plane of rotation of the propeller as you start and run the engine.

❍ Keep these items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets into the prop.

❍ The engine gets hot! Do not touch it during or right after operation.

❍ Do not use hands, fingers or any other body part to try to stop the engine.

❍ Do not throw anything into the propeller of a running engine.

SAFETY CODE

GENERAL ❍ 1. I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events,

air shows, or model flying demonstrations until it has been proven to be airworthy by having been previously successfully flight tested.

❍ 2. I will not fly my model aircraft higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give right of way to and avoid flying in the proximity of full scale aircraft. Where necessary an observer shall be used to supervise flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full scale aircraft.

❍ 3. Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the flying site I use and I will not willfully and deliberately fly my models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.

❍ 7. I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name and address or AMA number, on or in the model.

❍ 9. I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).

RADIO CONTROL ❍ 1. I will have completed a successful radio equipment

ground check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.

❍ 2. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless assisted by an experienced helper.

❍ 3. I will perform my initial turn after takeoff away from the pit or spectator areas and I will not thereafter fly over pit or spectator areas, unless beyond my control.

❍ 4. I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies

❍ currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission.

CHECK-LISTDuring the last few moments of preparation your mind may be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the first flight. Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook certain checks and procedures that should be performed before the model is flown. To help avoid this, a checklist is provided to make sure these important areas are no overlooked. Many are covered in the instruction manual, so where appropriate, refer to the manual for complete instructions. Be sure to check the items off as they are completed (that's why it's called a check list!).

❍ 1. Check the C.G. according to the measurements provided in the manual.

❍ 2. Be certain the battery and receiver are securely mounted in the fuse. Simply stuffing them into place with foam rubber is not sufficient.

❍ 3. Look for a correct position of your receiver antenna or antennas. The antenna should not be ´close to other wires inside the fuselage.

❍ 4. Balance your model laterally as explained in the instructions.

❍ 5. Use threadlocking compound to secure critical fasteners such as the set screws that hold the wheel axles to the struts, screws that hold the carburetor arm (if applicable), screw-lock pushrod connectors, etc.

❍ 6. Add a drop of oil to the axles so the wheels will turn freely.

❍ 7. Make sure all hinges are securely glued in place.

❍ 8. Reinforce holes for wood screws with thin CA where appropriate (servo mounting screws, cowl mounting screws, etc.).

❍ 9. Confirm that all controls operate in the correct direction and the throws are set up according to the manual.

❍ 10. Make sure there are silicone retainers on all the clevises and that all servo arms are secured to the servos with the screws included with your radio.

❍ 11. Secure connections between servo wires and Y connectors or servo extensions and the connection between your battery pack and the on/off switch with vinyl tape, heat shrink tubing or special clips suitable for that purpose.

❍ 12. Make sure any servo extension cords you may have used do not interfere with other systems (servo arms, pushrods, etc.).

❍ 13. Secure the pressure tap (if used) to the muffler with high temp RTV silicone, thread locking compound or J.B.Weld.

❍ 14. Secure the pressure tap (if used) to the muffler with high temp RTV silicone, thread locking compound or J.B.Weld.

❍ 15. Make sure the fuel lines are connected and are not kinked.

❍ 16. Balance your propeller (and spare propellers).

❍ 17. Tighten the propeller nut and spinner.

❍ 18. Place your name, address, AMA number and telephone number on or inside your model.

❍ 19. Cycle your receiver battery pack (if necessary) and make sure it is fully charged.

❍ 20. If you wish to photograph your model, do so before your first flight.

❍ 21. Range check your radio when you get to the flying field.

Remember to think.

Have a ball!

But always stay in control and fly in a safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!
