North American Harvard AT-6 (OVERSIZE)

North American Harvard AT-6

The AT-6 was developed as a trainer and ground combat aircraft for the US Army. Today one can still see and hear these machines first-hand at various events like the famed Reno Air Races. The large 9-cylinder radial engine, with a rated output of 447 kW / 608 BHP, is especially impressive. Our model is of conventional all-wood construction, i.e. the fuselage is based on formers, with sheeted built-up wings and tail panels of built-up construction. The model is supplied ready-built and film-covered, while the various placards are supplied on the decal sheet.

Little work is required to complete the model, e.g. installing the tailplane and fin, joining the wing panels and installing the glow engine and radio system components. Retractable landing gear is included in the package. The GRP cowl is pre-painted, and only needs to be trimmed to clear the muffler, glow plug, etc. The canopy and wheel well fairings are supplied as vacuum-moulded plastic parts. Elevator and rudder are actuated using the Direct-Steel System (DSS), while the ailerons are operated directly by wing-mounted servos for minimum slop.

Includes assembly instructions in German, English and French, with stage photos, pre-built and covered fuselage, wing panels, tailplane and fin, GRP cowl, landing gear, wheels, canopy, and small items. RC functions: rudder with steerable tailwheel, Elevator, Ailerons, Retractable landing gear, Throttle.
