Turbo Porter. S.T.O.L. Fun.

...windy-day fun

Having just successfully flown the Stinger jet after its repair, I headed down the road for a chill-out session with the Turbo Porter.

As it turned out, the wind had freshened considerably to the degree that I had initial trouble getting a stable take-off run. However, having banished those gremlins, I settled into enjoying the PC-6's thoroughbred characteristics.



Despite the breezy and gusty conditions, the PC-6 was always stable and, with flaps fully deployed, could almost be landed vertically. And, one the one touch and go, the PC-6 appeared to bounce leisurely into a near vertical climb with ease.

So a fun end to an action-packed afternoon's flying...
