The PC-9 program officially started in 1982. Although some aerodynamic elements were tested on a PC-7 during 1982 and 1983, the first flight of the first PC-9 prototype took place on 7 May 1984. A second prototype flew on 20 July of the same year; this prototype had all the standard electronic flight instrumentation and environmental control systems installed and was thus almost fully representative of the production version.
Nice scale detail, solid construction and delightful flight performance, all in an easy-to-assemble package. This plane flies like a sport model while maintaining many of the scale details of the original Pilatus. The wing design incorporates a high efficiency airfoil using ultra modern construction techniques. Genuine OraCover® provides a durable, refined finish. It is completely built, requiring minimum assembly. The PC9 Pilatus is a great plane very well made and very enjoyable.
