This will ensure proper assembly as
the AT-6 TEXAN is made from
natural materials and minor adjust-
ments may have to be made. The
paintand plastic partsused in thiskit
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)Removeeach hingefromthe wingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
untilthe T-pinissnug againstthe aileron.This
will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is
oneithersideofthe hingelinewhentheaileron
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.A gap of 1/64” or less
shouldbe maintainedbetween thewing panel
andaileron.
4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfrontsurface shouldlightlycontact the
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the
Thehinge is constructed of 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 techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
8)Afterboth ailerons aresecurely 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, removeanyexcess C/Aglue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhinge area.
5)Turnthewing paneloverand deflectthe
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,makingsurethattheC/Apenetratesinto
both the aileron and wing panel.
