by FMS

Take your piloting skills to the next level with the FMS 1100mm PC-21 Pilatus PNP. Modeled after the world-renowned European flight trainer, this stunning remote control airplane offers a 99% scale accurate appearance paired with modern RC flight dynamics. Designed for both precision and presence, the PC-21's sleek lines, vibrant water-based red paint scheme, and super-long 1235mm fuselage make this 1.1-meter wingspan model fly and look like a much larger 1.4-meter class aircraft.

This advanced trainer hits the mark for a wide variety of users. For the RC hobby market, it is a thrilling step up to a high-performance scale model that features functional flaps and electronic retractable landing gear with CNC metal struts to absorb hard landings. In the FPV and drone market, the spacious cockpit and stable flight characteristics provide an excellent platform for custom first-person-view camera setups and head-tracking systems.

For the educational market, including high school and college STEM aeronautics programs, the PC-21 perfectly demonstrates complex control surfaces, retractable gear mechanisms, and fixed-wing aerodynamics. Its efficiency and stability also make it highly desirable for sUAS manufacturers, contractors, and government/military agencies looking for a reliable, cost-effective surrogate testbed for integrated training systems, autonomous flight controllers, and micro-payload emulation.

Constructed from the latest high-ratio, low-density EPO 52 foam, the airframe is 15% lighter than standard foam planes, drastically optimizing flight performance without sacrificing durability. Best of all, the PC-21 features a 100% glue-free, screw-together construction that allows for assembly in just 15 minutes.
