Default RE: Seagull planes

I agree wholeheartedly. Seagull makes well built and good flying models that are economical to purchase, but a little lacking on in the manual. I've had 3 or 4 of their models and just started their 120 size AT6 which like the others, seems to be very well built. I do intend to add a piece of tri-stock to the top and bottom on the inside of the fire-wall (it all ready has tri-stock down each side) as I'm powering it with a 26cc gas engine, that required removing the rudder servo mount that is flocated orward of the firewall. Hopefully, other than moving the engine mounting bolt hole locations on the firewall, I wont have to do any other modifying. I'm going to try to use the elevator servo mount for the throttle and choke servos, and move the rudder and elevator servos behind the firewall. Mine will get a set of E-Flite electric retracts as well rather than the fixed gear.

I would be interested in knowing what AA5BY used for power on your AT6, where you had to locate your servos, your impression of it's flying characteristics, & anything else you may have encountered as I've found that "Experience is a hard teacher. She always gives the test first and the lesson some time later!"
