The Pilatus PC-9 is a single-engine, low-wing tandem-seat turboprop training aircraft manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. Designed as a more powerful evolution of the Pilatus PC-7, the PC-9's first flight was made in May 1984 after which certification was achieved in September 1985. So, I built this aircraft with extra care and quality as far as the modeling job goes. I built manual folding gear doors, better suspension, and everything else that I could think of. I really tried with this build to make it look and work good. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether this had an airbrake or not. I searched far and wide but couldn't see any. There was only one picture with something that resembled an airbrake, but was barely visible. So overall I'm quite happy with this aircraft. And like I said I really tried to do everything I could to make this look and work nicely. It does have a slight tendency to veer off the runway on takeoff and landing, just use a little yaw and it'll be good. I can't find the reasoning for it though. 1=nav lights 2=LandingLights 3=Jettison fuel tanks (it also improves flight performance) G=LandingGear VTOL=Flaps. I hope ya'll enjoy!

@Hedero I’m wondering if you can make the T-6 Texan II?
You are welcome! @Hedero
And thank you!@Subnerdica
Ok I'll try my best to remember too! If I don't it's because I have forgotten.@Subnerdica
From now on can you please tag me on all your new builds?
And a very Noice build!
Nice profile pic
Ok, awesome! Keep practicing and you'll figure it out. I at one point never thought I could do an airfoil like this. But then it clicked.@Alta2809
@Hedero Yeah I find custom wings so hard to do. If only there were pre-made wings for use. I'm working on the CAC CA-31 but I was having trouble figuring out the custom control surfaces so I'm doing another side project to experiment with them.
Well thank you and I'm glad you don't mind it. But I'm going to try for now on to put as much effort in a build as I can. Right now the only thing holding me up on my current project, the yak-23, is the rudder. It's an odd issue but I'm sure I'll get it eventually.@Alta2809
@Hedero I didn't mind it really, to be fair chucking aircraft out on to the site every day or so is a top effort anyway! I'm lucky to get one out a month! Also you din't have to make roundles either, i just make old RAAF ones because they're simple
Well if I make roundels, then I have to make them curve with the angles of my plane. If that made any sense at all. Basically I suck at making roundels. @Megamonster
I find the lack of roundels disturbing, but anyways, Great Job!@Hedero
Oh well thanks!@Jokowi
@Hedero Oh sorry, I wanted to say its a great and mobile friendly trainer aircraft
I don't speak Chinese, or whatever that language is.@Jokowi
Thanks!@KerlonceauxIndustries
Well I can't do insignias or decals very good. But quingy zhou has uploaded a set of new decals recently. And did the performance of the aircraft sorta disappoint you?@Alta2809
Sweet
Your welcome! @Hedero
@Hedero 很好的教练机
@Hedero Man I was excited before I downloaded this thing! Can you do an RAAF Royal Roulettes decal?
Thanks!@Strikefighter04
Awesome!
im his brotherits so ugly hahahhahaehehhhHhhhahhahahHAHAHAAHHEHEHEHSAHAHAH sike
