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

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.

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.
