Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the
PERCIVAL MEW GULL
ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The
PERCIVAL MEW GULL
was designed with the intermediate/advanced sport scale in mind. It is a
semi scale airplane which is easy to fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built
using balsa, plywood 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 motor mount
has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed . Flying the
PERCIVAL MEW GULL
is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
