Guillow model airplanes, and specifically Guillows RC conversions, are popular projects for RC modelers. The Guillows build follows the normal plan and illustrated construction guide. Guillows model airplane kits come complete with a range of accessories to include tissue covering, plastic wheels and acetate for the windshield. In addition, the stick and tissue kit offers high quality laser cut balsa parts.

My version of the PC-6 came in at just over 3.1 ounces and the ParkZone motor offered more than enough power. I also used ParkLite iron on covering and this came out very well.

As always, "build in lightness" as you construct your model. I used a larger spacing (2 inches) for the wing ribs, and added less than the required amount of 1/16" square balsa for the fuselage.

Always ensure your wings are warp free, and good luck with your build of this fun kit!
