Seagull Models - SEA428GEAR
Curare-style 64in ARF Classic F3A Pattern .61 – .75/60E, Blue - Standard includes Retracts.
This Curare draws inspiration from one of the most influential FAI pattern designs of the golden era, widely associated with Hanno Prettner, 1975 World Champion. Rather than a direct reproduction, it is a modern interpretation refined for today's pilots, while preserving the clean lines and precision-focused philosophy that defined classic pattern flying. Built for those who understand that true precision comes from pilot skill, not automation.
Seagull Models has built a long reputation for well‑finished ARFs with classic styling and dependable construction. We choose to support Seagull because their kits offer solid build quality, straightforward assembly, and good long‑term parts support. Around here, plenty of our supporters have had great runs with Seagull airframes, and we only bring in models we’re happy to stand behind.
If you ever need setup help, hardware advice, or support after purchase, we at Flight RC is always here for you.
