The AT-6 is the first plane in E-flite's
new Platinum Series, a series that delivers superior enhanced
features and meticulous attention to detail.
E-flite’s AT-6 25e ARF is a superb scale replica
of the legendary “AT6 Texan” trainer used by
the U.S.A and its allies from WWII through to the late
1960s. It features a level of scale detail that is exceptional
for an electric ARF of this size. You get all this realism
without having to spend weeks of building, covering and
painting. Allowing for a few hours of final assembly and
radio installation you’ll have a fantastic flying
scale warbird your friends will envy!
The AT-6 25e comes out of the box with all kinds
of superbly finished details including a factory-painted fiberglass
cowl, air scoops, dummy radial engine, painted canopy and pilot,
scale strut covers, scale colour scheme and decals. The Texan’s
sheeted airframe replicates its full-scale cousin, whilst helping
to maintain the model’s strict scale appearance and strong
flight performance. Scale airfoils are used that again maintain
the exact scale outline of the AT-6 Texan's tail surfaces including
the counterbalances, and both the elevators and rudder are pre-hinged
and ready for installation. An optional detailed cockpit kit
is available separately (EFL4512), which includes a rear instrument
hood, main fuselage rollover structure, two seat backs, and a
floor. A detailed pilot is included with the kit and an additional
pilot is available separately (EFLA150). UltraCote covering is
used throughout and provides a durable, finish. The scale split
flaps are operational and pre-hinged, and by using a unique pin
interlock system, they simply plug together and operate using
only 2 servos. Whilst the model comes with fixed landing gear,
optional Robart retracts (EFL4515) are available that have been
specially designed for the AT-6. Making these mechanical retracts
functional is as simple as installing a servo and connecting
the pre-bent wire linkages. Getting to the battery and speed
controller is equally easy; just lift off the hatch, which is
secured with a strong magnet, and this large battery compartment
can accommodate a wide range of Li-Po packs. Transport to the
flying field is very easy thanks to the plug-in tail-plane, removable
outer wing panels and the center wing section, which also removes
from the fuselage.
This great model comes complete with all the necessary hardware
and a fully detailed assembly guide is included to enable E-flite’s
most realistic model to date, to be ready for action in no time
at all.
