Pilatus pc-9 ul/lsa

[Blackhawk]

Are there any members who have thought of, or would like to build a Tandem Pilatus PC-9 in either UL or LSA category.

 

I was thinking of 75% scale of the real deal.

 

Any ideas.

Will it have a 75% scale turboprop? I would surely be interested then!:thumb_up:

Hi Howard,

 

Yes, it would.

 

Full size is 2.44m, so 75% would make it 1.83m (72")

Sorry, Howard I didn't read the question properly.

 

No Turboprop. Not leagal

N2 Jet Powered Gas Turbine Engines

Hi,

 

 

Example of a turbine engine for the Zenith STOL, I'm sure something could be done for your 75% Pilatus.

 

Not sure if you're right about it being illegal though Graeme.

That would sure be the ideal engine for the PC-9, but I'm positive your only allowed a piston engine.

 

The big draw back with a Turbine is the fuel bill, at 14gal an hour you would want shares in a fuel company or a money tree in the backyard.

 

I'll stick to 12 litres an hour and a V4.
