INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the CHRISTEN HUSKY ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS COMPANY LTD.
The CHRISTEN HUSKY was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a
semi scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built
using balsa, plywood to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane
to be kept light. You will find that most of the work has been done for you already.The motor mount
has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed . Flying the CHRISTEN HUSKY is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your CHRISTEN HUSKY . Use the parts listing
below to identify all parts.
WARNING.
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is
capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier
and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training
procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able
to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

HINGING THE ELEVATORS
1)Locate the items for this section of the
manual.
2)Carefully remove the elevator from one of
the horizontal stabilizer panels. Note the
position of the hinges. Used C/A glue to fix the
hinges position..
3) Remove each hinge from the horizontal
stabilizer panel and elevator and place a T-
pin in the center of each hunge. Slide each
hinge into the elevator until the T-pin is snug
against the elevator. This will help ensure an
equal amount of hinge is on either side of the
hinge line when the elevator is mounted to
the horizontal stabilizer panel.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.

INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line. Connect one end of the line
to the weighted fuel pick up and the other end
to the nylon pick up tube.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
the rear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you
attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the
stopper. Once the tank is installed inside the
fuselage, it may be difficult to determine which
is which.

the lines from the tank through the hole in the
firewall.
8) Use plywood template to hold in place
the fuel tank with C/A glue to secure the fuel
tank inside the fuselage.

9) Connect the lines from the tank to the engine
and muffler. The vent line will connect to the
muffler and the line from the clunk to the
carburetor.

Blow through one of the lines to en-
sure the fuel lines have not become kinked
inside the fuel tank compartment. Air
should flow through easily.
INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS.
1) Install the rubber grommets and brass
collets onto the throttle servo. Test fit the servo
into the aileron servo mount.
2) Secure the servos with the screws pro-
vided with your radio system.
Because the size of servos differ, you
may need to adjust the size of the precut open-
ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of the
mount allow the servo lead to pass through.
