Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the Harrier 3D ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The Harrier 3D was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a 3D airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood and veneer to make it stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light.
