DXF-data Pilatus Porter PC-6

This is a model that you hardly get to see! Who remembers the first Porter PC-6 today? A 6-cylinder piston engine was originally installed in the Porter (around 250 kW, Lycoming GSO-480-B1A6). After the maiden flight in May 1959, it was only two years before the first Turbo-Porter with the long nose for a propeller turbine with 385 kW completed its maiden flight in May 1961. In later years some Piston Porters were also converted to Turbo Porters.

The model of this rare aircraft was designed by Christian Forrer down to the last detail with all components. Experiences from the setup flowed directly into the data as corrections. The structure of the model is basically made of wood. Many details such as doors, air scoops, slats or the dummy exhaust are manufactured using the 3D printing process and the chassis is largely made of metal.

The DXF data contains the contours of all millable individual parts as well as the 3D STEP and STL data for the 3D printed parts. With this data, production in the home workshop with a milling machine or laser and 3D printer or with a milling service is possible.
