ASSEMBLY MANUAL

AT-6 TEXAN _ CODE SEA 76.Instruction Manual.

INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing the AT-6 TEXAN ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The AT-6 TEXAN was

designed with the intermediate/advanced flyer in mind. It is a semi scale airplane which is easy to

fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it

stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find

thatmostoftheworkhasbeendoneforyoualready.Themotormounthasbeenfittedandthehinges

NOTE: To avoid scratching your new aero-

planewesuggestthatyoucoveryour

workbench with an old towel. Keep a

couple of jars or bowls handy to hold

the small parts after you open the

bags.

Pleasetrialfitallparts.Makesureyou

have the correct parts and that they

fit and are aligned properly before

gluing! This will ensure proper as-

semblyasthe AT-6TEXANismade

from natural materials and minor ad-

justmentsmayhavetobemade.The

paintandplastic parts usedin this kit

are fuel proof. However, they are not

tolerant of many harsh chemicals in-

cluding the following: paint thinner,

cyano-acrylate glue accelerator, cy-

anoacrylate glue de-bonder and

acetone. Do not let these chemicals

come in contact with the colours on

the covering and the plastic parts.

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but

the hinges are not glued in place. It

is imperative that you properly

adhere the hinges in place per the

steps that follow using a high-quality

thin C/A glue.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Remove each hingefrom thewing panel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

untiltheT-pinis snugagainstthe aileron.This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

oneithersideof thehingeline whentheaileron

is mounted to the wing panel.

HINGING THE AILERONS.

Note:

T-pin.

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel.Agap of 1/64” or less

shouldbe maintainedbetweenthe wingpanel

andaileron.

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfront surfaceshouldlightlycontactthe

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

Thehinge is constructedof a special

material that allows the C/A to wick

or penetrate and distribute

throughout the hinge, securely

bonding it to the wood structure of

the wing panel and aileron.

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

HINGING THE ELEVATORS.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.

8)After both ailerons are securely hinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel, removeany excessC/Agluethat

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhingearea.

5) Turn the wing panel over and deflect the

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,makingsure thattheC/Apenetrates into

both the aileron and wing panel.
