Seagull Models has created an outstanding 15cc size version of the Skybolt. It inherits the same classic good looks and great flight performance of the full-scale Skybolt. Difficult free-style gyrations and the full slate of aerobatic manoeuvres are routine for this R/C model. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa and plywood, yet the laser-cut design allows the airplane to be kept light. The UltraCote® covering, plus beautifully moulded and painted fibreglass cowl and wheel pants add to its sleek look.

A perfect airplane for everyday sport aerobatic flying and flight demonstrations.
