Fuselage Assembly - Seagull Models PC-9 Assembly Manual

INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the PC-9 ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The PC-9 was designed with
the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a low-wing scale aeroplane 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. You will find
that most of the work has been done for you already. The pushrods are pre-made to the correct
lengths, the motor mount has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed and pinned for security.
Flying the PC-9 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 PC-9 . Use the parts listing below to identify all
parts.
