Introduction

The model Pilatus PC6-L Turbo Porter was constructed by Flitework for the advanced beginner, but also for the 

connoisseurs among the model pilots. In addition to the shockabsorbing scale landing gear inspires this model by 

its elegant Red Bull design and excellent flight characteristics. The model is covered with screen-printed, high quality 

film. The original plane is used by the Flying Bulls for bringing up parachute jumpers.

Attention please!

Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, flying and servicing such models, you need a high 

grade of technical comprehension and liability.

Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and material damage.

Because the Flitework GmbH has no influence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the flight 

device, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers.
