A simple, solid construction, proven systems and features, combined with precision Swiss workmanship result in the highest reliability and lowest maintenance possible.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the greatest and most versatile utility aircraft ever produced, the\u00a0PC-6 Turbo-Porter has the ideal proportions and attributes for a model. With a slab-sided fuselage, and a simple, constant chord wing, the Porter is an almost perfect model.<\/p>\n<p>This model was designed as part of a series of design articles to be published in a well-known English model magazine. It is totally scale in outline, as well as using the scale aerofoils, though the structure is simplified in some areas. If the builder prefers, the model can be fully scaled, with opening doors and a scale undercarriage, though the plans show a simplified version.<\/p>\n<p>The plans are completed, and are available now. Feel free to contact us and we can help you out with other details, or even scale the plan up or down to a different size if you wish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-732\" src=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-300x254.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-768x650.png 768w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-1024x866.png 1024w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-177x150.png 177w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterWingPlanSMALL-150x127.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-731\" src=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-300x130.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-1024x443.png 1024w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-250x108.png 250w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL-150x65.png 150w, https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/PorterFuselagePlanSMALL.png 1892w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/pc6-porter\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":726,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10166,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/728\/revisions\/10166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsnz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
