178.99 Seagull Challenger Kit
ARTF kits are great, we all love 'em and we all
appreciate the time savings they provide, however a growing number
of R/C flyers are finding that, having assembled one or two ARTFs,
what they really fancy is a stab at traditional building.
Some choose
a plan build for their first foray into balsa-bashing but most
seek a simple kit, a kit such as the Seagull Challenger, that offers
all the advantages of laser cut parts.
Carefully chosen hardware
and an instruction manual that guides you step-by-step through
the build process.
In truth, the Challenger is the perfect choice
for not only does it ensure a problem-free build, it offers an
opportunity to produce a one-off model in a colour scheme of your
choice and promises a fantastic, agile aerobatic flight performance
when you're finished.
Building your own R/C model is absorbing,
enjoyable and immensely satisfying and that's why so many are deciding
to give it a go. It's also why the Challenger kit is such a popular
choice amongst sport flyers and those seeking a good follow-on
aerobat.
