Before Assembling the Pilatus PC6
Keep in mind when assembling and flying the Pilatus PC6 that radio control model airplanes may cause injury
or property damage when improperly flown or mishandled. Always follow the warnings written in the instruc-
tion manual. Improper assembly and/or usage could lead to damage and/or failure of the electronic equip-
ment. Be sure to read this instruction manual in its entirety before assembling and flying this model.
This model is made of ELAPOR™ and not Styrofoam™, therefore you cannot use typical adhesives such as white
glue, polyurethane or epoxy. Make sure to only use medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate glue (or CA as used in the
manual). For certain joints, it is also possible to use a hot-melt adhesive; the instructions indicate where this is
the case. It is recommended you test fit each piece before applying the adhesive.
the following tools are required to build the model:
• #1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
• #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Needle-nose Pliers
• 10 mm Spanner Wrench
• Thread-lock fluid
• Masking Tape
• Spring steel wire or florist’s wire
