Any ARTF model that manages to survive in the fickle R/C market for more than a few years must have something going for it. Introduced over two decades ago Seagull's 60" span PC-9 is just such an aeroplane and it remains deservedly popular. Carrying the look and character of the full-size with a performance that will perfectly suit those moving on from a basic high-wing trainer – not to mention experienced sport flyers who are after a good-looking Sunday aerobat – it's an entirely practical model with a stable and forgiving flight envelope and a sturdy, fixed, trike undercarriage.
Whether you power this one with an i.c. engine or an outrunner, the large, removable canopy hatch will give easy access for servicing or battery changing, which in itself suggests an uncomplicated model that you'll reach for time and time again. Eye-catching, neatly constructed, beautifully finished and easy to fly, the PC-9 will repay your careful assembly with total satisfaction and years of reliable service.
