I have a Satio 91s looking for a home a the moment, and after looking at the usual spitfire/mustang suspects I came across this [link=http://www.jperkinsdistribution.co.uk/detail.php?JPNO=5500038&activepage=1&Navmain=Aircraft%20-%20ARTF%20&subcatname=ARTF%20-%20Seagull]Seagull AT6 75[/link]

Has anyone had any experience with one of these and is a 91 four stroke really enough to fly it around ??

None has the Seagull AT-6 75 ARF ? []

I wonder if he bought one?

Kostas1

Ah,

i really don't know...

I wish someone jumps in and post more info and some pictures!

Have you seen the manual ?

They mount the x2 elevator servos and x1 rudder servo at the engine area,under the cowl.

Probably because if they didn't,
they'll come up with a very tail heavy engine.

I did not get one in the end. I think it would have been a bit under powered with the 91 , and I would have had to put a tonne of ballast up front as the saito is a light engine. From what I have seen of it a 120 is probably a better match for this airframe.

I am building this Seagull 75 AT-6 and I have a DLE-20 I am using for power. I will be more than enough power for this plane. I already have a DLE-20 in a 71" GP Stearman PT-17 and ift fly great at half throttle and weigh's 13.5lbs so with this plan weigh around 9lbs it should do very well. Here is a pic of the plane and the DLE-20. I will be using a SY 16x8 pro that the DLE-20 spins at 8500RPM. 13.5 lbs of thrust

Hi!

Do you have any fresh pictures from your AT-6 ?

Here are a few I took just after I finished the AT-6. I hope to do the maiden flight this coming weekend if the weather holds. We have had winds near 40MPH the last dew days.[:@][:@]

Kostas1

She looks so nice....please let us know how the maiden went....

I wish you

I am actually building one with an aerovate 15 cc gas engine.

I would also be interested in knowing how the maiden went.

Goog luck

ps : where did you put the elevator and rudder servo ?

I will put them in the fuse

I will try and get some video of the maiden this weekend. I removed one elevator servo by making a metal "C" adapter and joined both elevator halves together. I then installed a Hitec 475 servo in the sevo mount in the cowl area. I did cut one of the elevator servo mounts off of the cowl area along with the rudder servo mount. I moved the rudder servo to the fuselage mount and it worked out OK. I hope I was clear enough about what I did. The plane weighs 10.5lbs with the DLE-20. It spin's a SY 16x8 prop at 8500 rpm that produces 13lbs of Thrust. The wing loading will be 33oz so it should fly very well and may be a little hot on landings without flaps[:@]

Kostas1

Jim...if you cut the throttle just before the final turn for landing you won't have a problem....

Also the cowl area is big and will slow the airframe.....Pay attention to this.....

Thanks for the info on the landings Have you flown yours already and if so what is your setup?

Kostas1

Did you capture the video from the maiden ?

Kostas1

Oh...i will wait then, with my fingers croshed!!!
