Hey Team,

I received my AT6 a couple of weeks ago and yeah, it was designated as my Christmas present and I was supposed to wait until then to start assembling it but the wife toook pity on me and and told me to go ahead with the build.

Some items:

The construction is excellent, the fits are great and are well planned out.

Overall the covering is great with the exception of the ailerons and the black stripes on the center section. Took a lot of work to get them looking half way decent.

The gear, in my opinion, are more than sturdy enough given the size and weight of the airplane and I fly off a grass field. I lucked out and the set screws for the the wheel collars fit with no problem but did find that a 1.5mm helicopter style wrench worked better than a normal style metric socket wrench.

Had a slight problem with the wing joint covers. I followed the instructions and stripped the covering and used epoxy as stated. Well the next day I was messing with the gear and one of the covers just popped loose from the wing, probably due to the fact the covers are made of some type of plastic. So after some consideration I decided to use RC 56, the stuff used for canopies. Worked great and the covers will not fly off.

And yes, I used Epoxolite to join the wings and the bonde is extremely strong. And if you want to play the numbers game, I am 65 years old and have been messing with model airplanes since I was twelve, do the math.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas
