Modelled on Richard VanGrunsven's classic low-wing RV-8 homebuilt, this ARF aircraft kit arrives factory-covered in genuine Oracover film with a high-visibility scheme and a 71-inch (180 cm) wingspan. It's a fully aerobatic airframe that climbs well, tracks cleanly, and is stable enough for sportsman and intermediate aerobatics as well as light 3D flying. As an ARF, the major airframe is pre-built and covered, so you finish assembly and fit your own power and radio gear. This SEA388 release replaces the earlier SEA249 kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLaser-cut balsa and ply construction with carbon reinforcement for a light but strong airframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunctional flaps, scale hinges and removable wings for a wider flight envelope and easier transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061-T6 aluminium landing gear with carbon fibre wing tube (19mm) and tail tube (12mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetailed cockpit with scale pilot, instrument decal and clear canopy, plus pre-wired scale LED navigation lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a 500ml RC fuel tank with clunk, turnbuckle-style pushrods, ball links and a motor mount for the electric power option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-built and factory-covered RV-8 airframe in Oracover film\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061-T6 aluminium landing gear and carbon fibre tail gear assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre wing tube (19mm) and horizontal tail tube (12mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500ml transparent fuel tank with clunk, fill and vent nipples\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePU rubber wheels with plastic hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurnbuckle-style pushrods, ball links and turnbuckle wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFiberglass control horns and complete hardware kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotor mount for electric power option\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-wired scale LED navigation lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScale pilot figure, instrument decal and clear canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-40cc gas engine or equivalent electric brushless motor and ESC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePropeller to suit your chosen engine or motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-channel radio system (minimum) with 8 standard servos\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReceiver and flight battery to suit your setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuel and field equipment if using a gas engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGeneral assembly supplies such as adhesives and tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seagull Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44799142985965,"sku":"SEA388","price":831.12,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2194\/5657\/files\/111497_Image1.jpg?v=1756943533","url":"https:\/\/www.hobby-city.com.au\/products\/seagull-models-sea388-vans-rv-8-71-arf-35-40cc-aerobatics-and-3d-new-2023-replaces-sea249-kits","provider":"Hobby City NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
