Not to highjack Markus' thread on the Cessna, some screens of the other planes in those fine colours:
Early paint (I think) with lily on fin

And a slightly tatty one some time later, without

Talk about ~~foot~~ wheel fetish...this one has some of the best dangly bits in the business...

Nice shots, Charl! I don't appear to have this in the dreaded NZFSIM database ... details please!

Blowed if I know , Adam...
Looking at this thread, I suspect I got hold of a repaint - somewhere - and mostly plagiarised it.
I never published it for fear of annoying the author.
I'll scratch a bit more, perhaps I'll find the original.

"best dangly bits in the business..." and strangely one hell of a display at any airshow

plane go up - plane go down - plane go up - plane go down , seems to be more helicopter than aeroplane

I know the Porter is capable of things other aircraft (be it fixed-wing or whirled-wing) can't do - but:
Does it have to be this ugly? (where's the barf smily?)

Don't want to step on any of the admirer's toes, but this thing is so far beyond any rule of design&proportion...

Never mind,

Markus.

Haha...first time I saw one I thought it was a home-built gone badly wrong.
Then, when I saw what it could do, form following function, it got Attitude.
Once you have Attitude, you get a Following.
Those that love Porters, are utterly unshakable in their faith.

EDIT: But some of them are so ugly, even Porterlovers blanch!
We have one right here in NZ
I did a repaint of it for AI use, and was forced to keep one eye closed, all the while...

Got a link for that? I gather "Mr Piglets" is not the name of the people who make it!

Tim Conrad is the maker...of Piglet's Peculiar Planes.
But I think Piglet may have packed up his toys for the summer, as I don't see his Porter anywhere.

Me too...but you ain't seen ugly until you've seen a Trislander in the flesh!
Great Barrier has theirs back in service, and it farts about (extremely) noisily from time to time out of North Shore Aerodrome

FSX SP-2 Acceleration Pilatus PC-6C_H2. Fairchild-built version of the Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter, with the Garrett TPE 331 turboprop engine. This release also includes a paint kit. By Tim Conrad[/quote].

There is a repaint for Tim 'Conrad's Porter in Mount Cook clolours at SOH if you can be bothered rummaging through their library which is confusing at the best.
