Hey Crazy4flight;
I just purchased the Seagull 120 size AT-6 (Christmas Gift to myself. My wife would be proud as they have them on sale at a bargin right now for $275.00 @ Horizon. She loves sales, and will buy something on sale even if it's not needed, a female thing, so I though what the heclk, if it works for her, it will surely work for me, right????).
I have not started on it yet, but have had it out drooling all over it. It looks well built. I'm going to use a Turnigy 26cc gas engine in mine. It will require a little reworking forward of the firewall as they built the mounts for the elevator servos and the rudder servo forward of the firewall to compensate for it being a little tail-heavy with a glow engine, but put the throttle servo behind the firewall. It comes with the motor mount for glow engines or small gas engines pre-installed. I plan on mounting my engine with stand-offs and putting those servos behind the firewall and moving the ignition battery & throttle servo forward of the firewall. I intend to install electric (e-flite) retracts in mine as well.
There is a build thread showing a rear-carburatered gas engine installation that leaves the elevator servos forward of the fire wall, but has the ignition battery and all other servos behind the firewall. I thought I had it saved, but have not been able to find it.
From what I've read, & from the videos I've seen on youtube, it is a nice flying model, but have not personally experienced flying it yet. The owner of the local HS has the Top Flite 60 size and says it is a great flyer.
It will probably be sometime after the Christmas Decorations get put away before I can get started on this thing as there are Christmas Decoration Storage Boxes stacked everywhere in my shop!!!! Bah Humbug!! LOL!
Keep in touch, and I'll keep in touch as I go along. I'm just a little slow when it comes to putting my models together, and you may get yours and maiden it before I do!
Just remember; "Experience is a hard teacher. She always gives the test first, and the lesson sometime later!
