Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter

pha..you missed two rivets....

I got hold of a repair manual from one of the ex-Army Porters that details each piece of the airframe construction. It really does look like they started with an aluminium box and just kept adding plates until it stopped failing!

Here are two blow-ups at 50% final size.

very clean work

Hi Grubby,

forgive me ...

But I mean here you have to repair something ...
because here there is a hole / pipe ... you can see through!

It is screwed or riveted, for passing insertion of the rod for lifting.

But it's a great profile of yourself!

My great respect
Heli

I don't care how nice your profile is, that tail is still offensive and the designers should be shot

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

I'll invoke Artist's Licence on the tube hole. Yes, you can see through it, but it becomes a distracting focal point if it is white.

I'll look at the end plate, though. Something's not right!

Grubby.
