Description

The Seagull Nieuport 28 1/5 Scale (20cc) 1.72m (68in) (SEA-303), part number 5500037, is a 1/5 scale ARTF radio-controlled model aircraft with a wingspan of 1.72 m (68 in). It represents the real Nieuport 28, which first flew in June 1917 and was the first fighter from its company to use a standard two-spar wing. Its slim fuselage could not take twin Vickers guns, so one was mounted on the fuselage side.

The model has a laser-cut balsa and ply structure that arrives factory built and covered in genuine Oracover. Sport scale touches include a detailed cockpit with a hand-painted pilot, a scale Vickers gun set and scale-effect wheels with decals. The four-piece plug-in wings make transport easier, a large removable top hatch gives access to the interior, and the rudder uses a pull-pull system. Seagull rates it for intermediate to advanced pilots, and it is recommended for ages 14 and over, flown at a designated R/C model flying site.

It is designed for glow, petrol/gas or electric power. Suggested power is a 20 to 26cc glow or petrol engine, while the suggested electric set-up is a 110-size outrunner with an 8-9S LiPo battery and an 85A ESC. A full electric conversion kit with an adjustable motor stand-off and a slide-in LiPo battery tray is supplied for the electric option.

Specifications

Lightweight and manoeuvrable, The Nieuport 28 first flew in June 1917. It was the first fighter from the company to employ a standard two-spar wing. The streamlined fuselage was too slim for twin Vickers guns, so one has to be mounted to the fuselage side. After WW1, some went to the USA with a few entering races, albeit with shortened wings!

Seagull's model is big and beautiful with a laser-cut balsa/ply structure, expertly covered in genuine Oracover. Add some nice sport scale touches and you've a very practical model for all seasons.
