Description

The Seagull 1/5 Scale L-4 Grasshopper 90in (15-20cc), part number SEA325, is an ARTF semi-scale model of the Piper L-4 liaison aircraft with a 2.28 m (90 in) wingspan, built from balsa and plywood.

The airframe arrives factory assembled and covered in a green scale colour scheme, so the build is quick. Scale detail includes a cockpit with a painted pilot figure, a side door, crystal clear windows, sprung landing gear, a steerable tail wheel and a factory painted fibreglass cowl. The model is also LED-ready for lighting. The construction keeps flying weight low, and the hardware pack covers either petrol or electric power.

Seagull describes the handling as relaxed and stable, with a wide flight envelope and gentle stall characteristics. That suits intermediate to advanced pilots who prefer calm circuits and vintage styling. The model is designed around a 20cc petrol engine, with a nitro or electric equivalent as an alternative. It should be flown at a designated R/C model flying site, and the recommended age is 14+.

The original L-4 Grasshopper was a military version of the Piper Cub, used in World War II for reconnaissance, artillery spotting and liaison duties. It was known for reliability and short take-off and landing ability.
