Pilatus PC-21 ARF with Retracts
Cool Turboprop plane w/scale 5-bladed prop & retracts - Fast and Fun
If you're looking for something, fast, fun, and different, than you'll want to have a look at this new Escale PC-21 Turbo Prop. The scale lines, 5-bladed turbo style prop, and sweet handling will surely make you stand out at the field.
It's built from tough EPO foam, so you know it will last, and all you need to provide is your receiver and a battery. What battery? Well the PC-21 can handle a 3S or a 4S Lipo of 1600mAh to 2100mAH. It's no slouch on 3 cells either, just watch our flight video which was shot using a 3S 1650mAh Lipo pack.
It flies smooth and solid like a pattern ship, and the sound coming from the blades gives you the hint of a true turbine engine.
Retracts are included and use heavy duty servos to operate them. Flaps are optional and you'll need to provide a couple of servos to set them up. Making super slow and low gear-up flap-down passes are so much fun. Landing is a breeze as the tricycle gear are very forgiving and easy to control on the ground.
The PC-21 is molded with tough EPO foam and is pre-painted, and decorated. It is a faithful reproduction of the turboprop trainer that is being used to train the next generation of jet fighter pilots. This model is very close to the scale outlines of the real plane and includes the signature 5-bladed scale prop with scimitar blades. This prop is not just for display, it is a great match for the 760Kv brushless motor and 50A ESC w/BEC.
