The Pilatus PC-6 Porter is a single-engined Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) utility aircraft designed by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. The reliability and versatility in all weather and terrain conditions have established the reputation of the PC-6 as a rugged utility aircraft. First flown in 1959, it remains in production for over 50 years. The World Models is trying to capture the characteristics of this legendary aircraft in both Kit and ARF version and present to RC flyers.

Features:
- Interlocking parts cut with laser precision.
- Easiest building with perfect fit parts, takes shape without the need to work on top of drawings.
- Complete hardware package included.
- Optional package of covering, gas power and electric power available.

Here are my review notes:

Pros:
- Long flight times
- Plenty of power
- The radio is very good for a ready to fly - RTF RC Plane
- Does nice loops

Cons:
- This is not a hobby grade RC Trainer Plane
- The CG is a challenge to get dialed in since the battery bay limits adjustments

The longer I have this WLtoys F949 Cessna 182 3 Channel RC Aircraft, the more I enjoy flying it.

Here are some facts about the The Cessna 182 Skylane which this RC Plane is modeled after:

The Cessna 182 Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engined light airplane, built by Cessna of Wichita, Kansas. It has the option of adding two child seats, installed in the baggage area.

Introduced in 1956, the 182 has been produced in a number of variants, including a version with retractable landing gear, and is the second most popular Cessna model, after the 172.

The Cessna 182 was introduced in 1956 as a tricycle gear variant of the 180. In 1957, the 182A variant was introduced along with the name Skylane. As production continued, later models were improved regularly with features such as a wider fuselage, swept tailfin with rear "omni-vision" window, enlarged baggage compartment, higher gross weights, landing gear changes, etc. The "restart" aircraft built after 1996 were different in many other details including a different engine, new seating design, etc.

By mid-2013 Cessna planned to introduce the next model of the 182T, the JT-A, using the 227 hp (169 kW) SMA SR305-230 diesel engine running on Jet-A with a burn rate of 11 U.S. gallons (42 L; 9.2 imp gal) per hour and cruise at 155 kn (287 km/h).[4][5] Cessna has no timeline for the JT-A and the diesel 172.[6] The normally aspirated, avgas fueled 182 went out of production in 2012, but came back in 2015.[7]

I still plane to make more videos with this WL Toys Cessna - 182, so stay tuned for those in the near future.
