Mobyal,
The kit is fantastic, simple to assembly and the quality is the best I have seen. I started a assembly thread here on RCU and did not have anyone following so stopped.
I used a Thunder Tiger 75 and it is more than enough power. Topmodel recommended a Saito 72.
See the PC-6 Assembly in the ARF RTF thread for some additional info

T6Racer, Your very welcome. I have built his Cessna 185 and know the quality of his plans. Please keep me updated on your build, I might have to consider building it in the future myself. The ARF I have from Icare though is well built and flies like a dream.

I have seen a number of his kits and they are all well designed. RcReport's Dick Pettit was building Mr. Aerodesigns Beaver, I have not seen an update on their electronic version of RCR. HE had a lot of nice things to say about it.
Not many kits around so we need to keep the guy's that are still making them happy by buying their products.

Hi JimO
Have finished building Mr Aerodesigns PC6 went together well extended the firewall to take turboprop.
Test flew it last Sunday, the sound is unreal ,came along at about 100ft opened the taps up pulled up to about 50 deg levevelled off 500ft it would have kept going to the moon.
Thes motors have that much power, I can't get over having a plane with no engine vibration.
I'm hooked on turbo props.
Power 44wren turbo prop, weight 26lbs, prop 20x12 3 blade, radio JR 2.4
