We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and flyability of your 

finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed 

model and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Your Pilatus PC6-L should not be considered a toy, but rather 
a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like 
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the 
Pilatus PC6-S if not assembled and operated correctly, could 
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to 
property.

2.You must assemble the model according to the instructions. 
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in a 
unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases the instructions may 
differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written 
instructions should be considered as correct.

3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-class 
condition and a correctly sized engine and components (fuel 
tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other components so 
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.

6. You must check the operation of the model before every 
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the 
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check 
clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they 
show any signs of wear or fatigue.

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you should 
fly the model only with the help of a competent, experienced 
R/C pilot.

8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use, 
if the plane will be used for extremly hight stress flying, such 
as racing, or if an engine larger than one in the recommended 
range is used, the modeler is responsible for taking steps to 
reinforce the hight stress points and/or substituting hardware 
more suitable for the increased stress.

9. 

WARNING:

 The cowl and wheel pants included in this kit 

are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which may cause eye, 
skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into a part to 
remove fiberglass dust, as the dust will blow back into your 
eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and rubber 
gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding fiberglas parts. 
Vacuum the parts and work area thoroughly after working 
with fiberglass parts.
