The PC-9 is a Turboprop military training aircraft that is used by several counties around the world, including Australia. Although built by Pilatus in Switzerland, the PC-9 is actually marketed by BAE Systems, armed versions are also in service with several countries, to date, over 250 have been built.
The H-King PC-9 is a great looking and flying easy build plug and fly model with great performance. The one piece wing is removable for easy transport and the fixed undercarriage can be removed for those wanting to bellyland, for those using the supplied under-carriage, the nosewheel is steerable to keep your PC-9 tracking true. All servos, the motor and ESC are pre-installed and the model features a novel swing up canopy for easy battery access. The model comes with a spare prop & spinner as well as the tools needed to complete the build.
The PC-9 is a great sport fly scale model that is capable of all the basic aerobatic maneuvers, it is made from super tough EPO foam so it can stands some knocks, it is nicely priced and cheap to get into the air, practical and good looking, this is a great scale parkflyer!
I would like to upgrade the motor etc in my PC-9. Would the "NTM Prop Drive 28-36 1800KV / 438W" be suitable. I will be using a 6x4 prop with 3S LiPo. I understand the ESC will also need to be upgraded but my question is specifically for the motor.
Copper you can find them under Hardware & accessories. > Decal Sheets. These look good "" Scale National Air Force Insignia Decal Sheet - Australia"" I hope this helps. and thanks KaosKane
Has anyone done a motor upgrade on this ac?
I flew it for about 10mins and got super bored.
I've just ordered a 1200kv motor with sports prop but i am not sure how much more power i will get out of it.
Upgrade done. Turnigy DST-1200 Bell motor 1200KV, with JXF sports prop 9x5 /229x127. So much more power. Standard ECS can be used!. Very easy upgrade guys. I recommend this as a minimum upgrade.
The A/C is far too slow running on stock setup.
Hey Nico. If i can remember im pretty sure you can poke an allan key into the top of the a/c nose and hit a little allan key nut that hold the engine to the mount. I cant quite remember but i think there was a little dimple in the sticker on the top side of the nose which i poked through and hit the nut.
Look for a sneaky little hole around that area. I cant remember the exact location but its there somewhere. Either top or bottom. Sorry i cant help more but my plane is long gone.
ThatGuy I cannot believe it is a foamy. That battery. Bigger is not always better. The setup can handle it but it will not fit. And the extra weight would be counter productive. Sorry you will need to buy some new batteries. Thanks for the chat.
PC9hk yes but bigger is not always better. You guys always want to go bigger. Us girls are happy with a good stile and a great finish. This is a fine foamy and it flies so so smooth. I hope this helps
Kellyann, I'd hate to be the one paying off your credit card! I can't think of a plane on the website I haven't seen you have an intimate knowledge of! Keep up the good work.
Just purchased this as a Christmas present arrived 23rd double boxed. Fuselage is held secure by velcro strap- nice touch. Overall quality is excellent it seems to be the same diamensions as the Ultra Fly PC-9 available many years ago but better foam this time. Will post flight test results shortly.

This model is fantastic. It flies as good as the Ultra fly version, handled 30 kmph winds easily albeit very bumpy but easily handled. Set the CG at 48mm to start and you will be rewarded with excellant flying. Model was set up stock standard with 1300mah 3S back, be warned however that the battery pack needs some extra form of secruity to prevent it falling out when inverted. Can't say a bad word about its flight handling, its a joy to fly.

Went together nicely... Ran servo leads to rx in cavity where the wing sits which allowed a bit more space under canopy for lipo.... Used supplied velcro to fasten battery.. Beefed up wing attachment nuts with some ply as per PC9HK advice.. Maiden flight went well considering there was blustery southerly. The small wheels don't allow takeoff from longish grass, but it's light enough to chuck... Very stable on final with no hint of tip stall. Nice amount of power without being a rocket. Wished it was in the RAAF Roulette colours...

Further to my earlier comments, you can fly this plane if the canopy pops open...;-)
I've also added some white painted tips to the top of the wing tips and stabiliser... the dark colour is nice but is difficult to pick when flying...

Had this shipped extremely quickly, and I was astounded at the quality of the packaging. Excellent work HobbyKing! Double boxed, fuselage held into the box with velcro straps, airbags throughout, and the batteries I ordered with it separately packaged and attached away from any of the model. In fact, I'd say the packaging quality was worlds above a recent SebArt ARF model I purchased, costing many times more.
The model itself is of a high quality, well, worth the money. Can't wait to set it up for a weekend flight.

Bet a lot of flyers out there would agree.
