Will Hobby AT-6 - Adding the transfers

Well time to add the transfers. Now I wasn't sure whether you soak them in water before applying them but I can assure you, you do not (I could not find anything in the instructions!!). Just cut them out, remove the backing and apply carefully. It turns out they will take the same amount of heat that the covering takes to shrink it, so you can seal the edges so that they should stay on longer. Best to apply them before you assemble the aircraft. Then fuel proof the areas around the front were fuel seepage can occur (unless its electric powered of course). Mine will have an ASP 46 up front. Not sure how the muffler will be routed but I will find out very soon (who said put a four stroke in it!!).

Will Hobby AT-6 Harvard installing the cables for the servos

I wondered how easy it would be threading the servos cables through the holes in the center wing section but it turns out it is not too difficult. Once they are through, tape them in position so they stay in there while you continue assembly.

Assembling the Will Hobby AT-6

I read a suggestion on the internet to replace the supplied hinges with "proper" hinges which I have done. The replacement ones have a metal hinge and also have holes so that the glue can pool in them and help get a better bond.
