North American Harvard AT-6   

The Design .....
 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 at first-hand at various events, for example at the famed Reno Air Races, or in Europe at the biennial Oldtimer meeting held at the Hahnweide, near Kirchheim - Teck. The large 9-cylinder radial engine, with a rated output of 447 kW / 608 BHP, is especially impressive.

This  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 motor and receiving system components. The retractable undercarriage is included in the package. The GRP cowl is pre-painted, and only needs to be trimmed to clear the silencer, glowplug 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.
