Note: We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality
kit and great instructions, but ultimately the quality of your
finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot
in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model,
and no representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
Please inspect all parts carefully before starting to build! If
any parts are missing, broken or defective, or if you have any
questions about building or flying this airplane, please call us
at (217) 398-8970. You can also check our web site at
www.greatplanes.com for the latest AT-6 ARF updates, or
e-mail your questions to
you are calling for replacement parts, please reference the
part numbers and the kit identification number (the small
sticker on the end of the carton) and have them ready when
calling.
There are several engines that will work well in your AT-6 ARF. We
recommend a 2-stroke such as an O.S.
®
.40 LA, O.S. .40 FX, or
O.S. .46 FX, or the SuperTigre
®
G40. For unsurpassed power and
realistic sound, an O.S. FS-52 4-stroke can’t be beat.

Remove the fuselage, wing panels, rudder assembly and
stabilizer assembly from their bags. Inspect all items closely to
check for any damage. If any of the control surfaces are
attached, simply pull them apart and store the hinges in a safe
place until it is time to reattach them. The manual begins with
all the surfaces shown separated.
Your AT-6 is covered with high quality Top Flite MonoKote
®
covering. If any of the covering has loosened, use a heat gun
or sealing iron to tighten it.
Several times during construction we refer to the “top” or
“bottom” of the model or a part of the model. It is understood
that the “top” or “bottom” of the model is as it would be when
the airplane is right side up and will be referred to as the “top”
even if the model is being worked on upside-down.
