Description

The Seagull Piper Cub (75) 79ins (SEA-87), part number 5500028, is a yellow balsa ARTF radio-controlled aeroplane with a 2,000 mm wingspan, supplied factory covered in Oracover film. It belongs to the Seagull Decathlon and Cub series, which is aimed at intermediate sport flyers and sits as a next step on from the Seagull trainers.

The airframe has laser-cut, laminated components and a large, roomy fuselage. The fuselage, wing halves and tail surfaces arrive built, covered and decorated, and items such as the pushrods, motor mounts and hinges are already fitted to shorten assembly time. The kit also includes pre-painted lightweight glass cloth cowls, aluminium wing struts, an undercarriage with tail wheel assembly and an illustrated instruction manual.

The model is designed for 4-channel control with six servos. Seagull suggests engines from 61 to 75 two-stroke, or a 91 four-stroke, and the equipment list below mentions a 10 to 12cc petrol or glow engine or an electric equivalent. The flying weight is roughly 3.4 to 4.2 kg depending on the setup. The manufacturer recommends it for flyers aged 14 and over, at a designated R/C model flying site.
