PROTECT YOUR MODEL,
YOURSELF & OTHERS
Your AT-6 ARF is not a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working
model that functions very much like a full-size airplane.
Because of its realistic performance, the AT-6 ARF, if not
assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury
to yourself or spectators and damage property.
To make your R/C modeling experience totally enjoyable, we
recommend that you get experienced, knowledgeable help from
an instructor with assembly and during your first flights.You'll learn
faster and avoid risking your model before you're truly ready to
solo. Your local hobby shop has information about flying clubs in
your area whose membership includes qualified instructors.
You can also contact the national Academy of Model Aeronautics
(AMA), which has more than 2,500 chartered clubs across the
country. Through any one of them, instructor training programs
and insured newcomer training are available. Contact the AMA at
the address or toll-free phone number below.
INTRODUCTION
The Great Planes AT-6 ARF is a high performance sport
airplane that closely resembles the full-size AT-6 both in
appearance and performance. The fuselage in front of the wing
has been lengthened slightly to allow the model to be balanced
without the need for excess nose weight. The AT-6 ARF is very
stable and predictable, allowing even low time pilots to enjoy it.
This is not a beginner's airplane! While the AT-6 ARF is easy
to build and flies great, we must discourage you from selecting
this kit as your first R/C airplane. It lacks the self-recovery
characteristics of good basic trainers such as the Great Planes
PT
™
Series. On the other hand, if you have already learned the
basics of R/C flying, and you are able to safely handle a .40-size
low wing airplane, the AT-6 ARF is an excellent choice to try your
skills at flying a sport scale airplane.
PRECAUTIONS
1. You must assemble the model according to the instructions.
Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an
unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases the instructions may
differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written
instructions should be considered as correct.
2. Take time to build straight, true and strong.
3. Use an R/C radio system that is in first-class condition, and
a correctly sized engine and components (fuel tank, wheels,
etc.) throughout your building process.
4. You must properly install the R/C radio system and other
components so that the model operates properly on the ground
and in the air.
5. You must test the operation of the model before every flight
to insure that all equipment is operating and you must make
certain that the model has remained structurally sound. Be sure
to check clevises or other connectors often and replace them if
they show signs of wear or fatigue.
