Fuselage Assembly - Seagull Models SWIFT40 Assembly Manual

SWIFT40.
INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the SWIFT40 ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The SWIFT 40 was designed
with the sports trainer flyer in mind. It is a High-wing 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
SWIFT40 is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual throughly before starting assembly of your SWIFT40 . Use the parts listing below to identify
all parts.
