Top Flite pays attention to scale realism long past the point that most other manufacturers consider "good enough". One example: the Texan's wheel covers, which look much like those included on the original full-size aircraft.

Gold Edition quality distinguishes this model from all other ARFs. In addition to the factory-built and covered wood main sections, Top Flite includes realistic wheel covers, replica radial engine, greenhouse canopy and many other fine scale parts.

An ideal 2-stroke engine choice for the Gold Edition AT-6 Texan ARF is the 61FX from O.S.® Engines (OSMG0561).

Enjoy 4-stroke muscle and fuel economy by powering your Texan with the O.S. Surpass™ FS-91S II (OSMG0896).

The painted fiberglass cowl is topped off with an aluminum spinner and realistic replica radial engine. Easy-to-install fiberglass air intakes and exhaust stacks provide a head-turning touch of authentic WWII Texan detail.

Impressive in itself, the greenhouse canopy surrounds a wealth of intricate cockpit detail – including instrument panels with dials and other details; painted pilot and co-pilot busts; and a rollover bar between them.

For the ultimate scale experience, Top Flite includes durable, well-engineered mechanical retracts that give inexperienced low-wing pilots the extra strength needed to withstand an occasional unpolished landing.

Use the AT-6 Texan's flaps to increase altitude faster at takeoff – or to reduce speed and decrease the distance needed for landing. A steerable tailwheel (not shown) makes it easy to stay in control on the ground.

Use the Texan's ailerons to expand your control skills for flying new maneuvers – like those learned by WWII fighters-in-training for succeeding in combat. Its forgiving airfoil is also well-suited for pilots moving up to the challenges of a scale low-wing.
