SEAGULL.
Instruction Manual.
INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the SEAGULL 2000 ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The SEAGULL 2000
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 SEAGULL 2000 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 SEAGULL 2000. Use the parts listing below to
