This will ensure proper assembly as

the AT-6 TEXAN is made from

natural materials and minor adjust-

ments may have to be made. The

paintand plastic partsused in thiskit

are fuel proof. However, they are not

tolerant of many harsh chemicals in-

cluding the following: paint thinner,

cyano-acrylate glue accelerator, cy-

anoacrylate glue de-bonder and

acetone. Do not let these chemicals

come in contact with the colours on

the covering and the plastic parts.

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but

the hinges are not glued in place. It

is imperative that you properly

adhere the hinges in place per the

steps that follow using a high-quality

thin C/A glue.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

2)Removeeach hingefromthe wingpanel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

untilthe T-pinissnug againstthe aileron.This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

oneithersideofthe hingelinewhentheaileron

is mounted to the wing panel.

HINGING THE AILERONS.

Note:

T-pin.

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less

shouldbe maintainedbetween thewing panel

andaileron.

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurface shouldlightlycontact the

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

Thehinge is constructed of a special

material that allows the C/A to wick

or penetrate and distribute

throughout the hinge, securely

bonding it to the wood structure of

the wing panel and aileron.

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Note:

HINGING THE ELEVATORS.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

8)Afterboth ailerons aresecurely hinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel, removeanyexcess C/Aglue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

5)Turnthewing paneloverand deflectthe

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,makingsurethattheC/Apenetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.
