PC-21 Info From the Official Website.
THE NEXT GENERATION TRAINER
The Ultimate Training System
To train the next generation of military pilots, Pilatus developed the next generation trainer: the PC-21, designed and built specifically with student pilots in mind. With air force budgets under continuous pressure, the PC-21 provides a cost-effective and highly efficient training solution. On the PC-21, pilots destined to fly fighter aircraft do not need to transition to jets until much later than those flying conventional trainer aircraft, reducing cost and training time. To achieve this, Pilatus significantly expanded the design and performance envelope to take this single-engine turboprop into an area that was, until now, exclusively the domain of jet trainer aircraft.
Ab-Initio to Advanced Training
The PC-21 is as benign and easy to fly for the ab-initio student as it is challenging and rewarding for the pilot preparing for the front line. The capabilities of the PC-21 make it ideally suited to a very wide training envelope. It can be used from day one, eliminating the need for an elementary flying training fleet and also bridging the performance gap between traditional turboprop trainers and expensive lead-in fighters. In this respect, the PC-21 provides significant advantages over traditional turboprops and jet trainers.
FEATURES
Next Generation Training for Next Generation Air Forces
The PC-21 design ensures a predictable operating cost profile. An innovative concept, modern materials and validation with a full-scale fatigue test, result in an aircraft that is ideal for both conventional and performance-based operations. Experience with existing PC-21 customers has shown that it is possible to reduce the cost of taking a student to wings graduation by more than 50 per cent.
COCKPIT
Fully Customisable up to Your Needs
Systems integration is at the heart of the PC-21 cockpit philosophy. As an advanced trainer aircraft, the cockpit display and control systems are configured to match the latest generation front-line aircraft as closely as possible. Trainees are exposed to an operational cockpit environment at the earliest stages of their training. This enables aircrew to acquire skills that are of direct relevance to front-line aircraft from day one.
MULTI MISSION CAPABILITY
Enhanced Training for Each Phase
The PC-21 is designed not only to satisfy the requirements for basic and advanced military pilot training but also to provide enhanced training for all aircrew in the following skills: mission planning and tactical navigation, mission system management, civil flight management, electronic warfare, air-to-air operations and air-to-ground operations including radar training, simulated weapons employment and night vision goggles operation. The PC-21 is enhanced by the ability to adapt the aircraft avionics to the requirements of each phase of training. The front and rear cockpits can be de-coupled for independent operation or to allow instructor access to training modes and data not available to the trainee.

Progressing very quickly! Should be complete soon! Thanks very much for watching!

[@garylucas6511]

I am a large scale 3D flyer and I thought I had fairly good and sound build practices however, I have learned a few things from you that I plan to use on my next plane. Thanks! GL

[@joshuasterling2144]

For me the bigger they are the easier they fly, but the higher the stakes. I burned in a Katana one time on my birthday. I had my party on the RC airfield and I put the wings on the spars for transport without screwing them in. SOoo I plugged in my battery, did a quick flight check for surfaces and took off. It flew great until one wing just came off in mid air. The plane was about 60 inch model and it cost me about 400 dollars in damages. Fortunately I bought the frame used. I took out all the servos etc and the 100 dollar battery was toast. I still have a Raven, Ultimate Biplane and an Edge 540 left. I have not flown fixed wing in about three years since I moved primarily to FPV. I just moved so I have a lot of flat open areas which are giving me ideas..lol Do you run gas on your rig for the big scale stuff? I have seen both on the field while I was a regular. I know the frames cost almost a thousand dollars.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Gary! That's one of the purposes of what I do! Share the info! Thanks for watching!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hey Joshua. Yea your correct! The bigger they are, the easier they are to fly but unfortunatley the more they cost. Don't understand your Gas question?

[@joshuasterling2144]

@@thelightersideofrc Disregard, I forgot your using a turboprop half way through the paragraph...lol

[@phoenixrising4573]

​@@thelightersideofrc Most expensive I ever saw go down was a 48% acrobat of some kind. Lost the BEC without redundancy on final, went full throttle on approach and lawn darted. He just stopped and stared. I looked at a friend that was with me, and we just silently got the truck and went to pick up the pieces. We had most of what was left in my pickup before he got to us. The only thing still usable was some of the tail electronics. I don't think any of us said a dang word until we get back to the line. I just pulled next to his trailer and let him unload as he wanted.

[@flymachine]

The PC-21 is just so gorgeous, even in pieces...it looks like the instant you bring the pieces together it's going to fire up and shoot into the air and go strsaight into crisp manuevers

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! She's a real beauty in this bright scheme! Wait till you see the next video with the fuse together! 😎

[@flymachine]

@@thelightersideofrc very excited, I operate in a slightly different realm to you in that I work on the same types but they are electric, first thing I did when my electric PC-21 arrived was to strip it down completely then purchased some FW Intruder dummy tanks and am going to repaint it in the Patrouille Suisse red and white with matching tanks and a scratch built full detailed cockpit and a pilot figure that cost more than the whole airplane. It will be the princess of my fleet for sure I am a lifelong Pilatus fan, so yes, can't wait.

[@remicallant8756]

Nice precise work you are doing like always, will be an awesome airplane, greetings from Remi

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much Remi!

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

That prop is wicked. I love RC turbo props

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! She is a beauty for sure!

[@stacyjussila4691]

Fantastic progress on assembling the 21 😊

Thanks!

[@michiganengineer8621]

I was wondering if a linear servo, like the ones from Actuonix, wouldn't be better for an application like those internally connected flaps?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Problem with the linear actuators is the amount of force the provide. The actuonix would be the best option for the amount of force they provide but they are quite long. I trust a servo more for this application.

[@gregoryh4601]

Jonathan could you go to the Auto Part Store an pick up some exhaust Header Tape (red)and wrap the Engine with it? Jonathan would the Tape be Thicker and control engine bay Temp Better then that thin junk paper ? And Cool trick ( Greg’s bent Screwdriver) is use Heavy Duty Aluminum wrapping Paper from Wife’s kitchen cupboards and shoe goop glue! Looks awesome. Well take Care.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great Suggestion Gregory. The unfortunate side of the doing it like that is is would hold the heat in instead of allowing it to dissipate quickly. Thanks for watching!

[@tonymalfa5396]

do you know the CA glue and baking soda trick? it really helps to fill gaps be careful thought you can burn yourself during the reaction. it so hard you can barely sand it. Also look into 3m DP460 when we where building composite aircraft once that cured it becomes part of the structure as it bonds on a molecular level especially with aluminum parts. Tony

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for the tips Tony! Yea, the baking soda trick is a good one!

[@jagman_singh]

just wondering what happened with the PC-6 turbiprop you build last year?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Jagman. It's back with the owner and sitting on his shelf. To my knowledge, no progress.

[@alanweaver3017]

Is it just me or is the turboprop off at an angle instead of center in the firewall, If so why?

[@thelightersideofrc]

All prop model aircraft have this. It’s about 3 degrees to the side and 3 degrees down. Without it it would do circles. It’s more pronounced on a turbo prop as the engine is so long.

[@bigglesbiggles2072]
