Seagull SEA431Gear - Curare Classic 1090mm 30E ARF - With Himark Electric Retracts
Compact Retro Precision Electric. Classic F3A Spirit. Modern Electric Precision.
Features:
- Inspired by the legendary Curare F3A pattern aircraft designed by World Champion Hanno Prettner.
- Purpose-designed for modern 30E electric power systems rather than being a simple scaled-down version of a larger aircraft.
- Premium laser-cut balsa and plywood construction delivers exceptional rigidity, low weight, and the authentic feel of a traditional built-up airframe.
- Fully symmetrical wing and tail airfoils provide precise tracking, neutral inverted flight, and crisp axial rolls.
- Two-piece plug-in wing and removable two-piece horizontal stabilizer simplify transportation and storage. 2-piece plug-in horizontal stabilizers allow easy transport and storage without compromising structural integrity
- Large removable canopy hatch provides quick and convenient access to the battery and onboard electronics.
- Lightweight factory-painted fiberglass cowling delivers a clean, professional finish.
- Professionally applied premium heat-shrink covering offers outstanding durability, visibility, and appearance.
- Optional factory-installed Himark electric retract system featuring steerable nose gear and main retracts for improved ground handling and premium scale appearance.
- Lightweight PU wheels with molded plastic hubs provide smooth operation on paved and well-maintained grass runways.
- Complete hardware package included for straightforward assembly.
- Includes premium UV DTF decal sheet. UV DTF graphics feature vibrant colors, excellent durability, and a simple peel-and-apply process with no soaking required
Rather than simply scaling down a larger design, the Curare has been purpose-engineered from the ground up to preserve the smooth, predictable flight characteristics that made the original an icon. Every aerodynamic surface, structural component, and proportion has been carefully optimized to deliver accurate tracking, neutral handling, and confidence-inspiring performance in a compact, transport-friendly airframe.
Built from premium laser-cut balsa and plywood, the Curare combines the authentic flying feel of a traditional built-up aircraft with the convenience and reliability of modern electric power. Whether flying precision aerobatic sequences or relaxed sport routines, it delivers the crisp control response, smooth flight characteristics, and refined handling that only a lightweight built-up balsa aircraft can provide.
The result is a modern interpretation of a true classic, bringing the golden era of F3A precision aerobatics to today's efficient 30E electric platform
