Seagull Models NEW Kwik Fli Mk3 Classic Pattern 30E 48" ARF
- SKU:
- SEA432
- Brand:
- Seagull Models
Inspired by Phil Kraft's legendary World Championship design. The next step up, smooth sport aerobatics and precise handling for pilots ready to move beyond casual flying.
Rather than pursuing extreme speed or unlimited 3D capability, the Kwik Fli was engineered around smooth, flowing maneuvers, precise control harmony, and effortless aerobatic rhythm. Every aspect of this modern electric version has been carefully optimized to preserve those classic flying qualities while benefiting from today's lightweight electric power systems and precision laser-cut construction.
Built from premium laser-cut balsa and lightweight plywood with carbon fiber tubes reinforcement, the Kwik Fli combines the authentic feel of a traditional built-up aircraft with the convenience and reliability of modern electric flight. Its low wing loading, neutral handling, and predictable stall characteristics allow pilots to perform graceful loops, axial rolls, stall turns, Cuban Eights, and classic F3A sequences with confidence and precision.
Whether you're rediscovering vintage pattern flying or introducing a new generation to one of the most influential aerobatic designs ever created, the Kwik Fli Classic delivers an enjoyable, relaxing flying experience that rewards smooth, accurate inputs rather than brute force.
Key Features:
- Inspired by Phil Kraft's legendary Kwik Fli Mk III, one of the most influential classic F3A pattern aircraft ever designed.
- Precision-built airframe from premium laser-cut balsa and plywood, reinforced with carbon-fiber tubes. This advanced reinforcement system increases torsional rigidity, impact resistance, and long-term durability while maintaining an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Carbon-fiber wing tube provides exceptional strength and precise wing alignment.
- Fully symmetrical wing and tail airfoils deliver neutral handling, precise tracking, and predictable inverted flight.
- Large precision control surfaces provide smooth, accurate response for classic aerobatic maneuvers.
- Two-piece plug-in wing simplifies transportation and field assembly.
- Large removable canopy hatch provides convenient access to the flight battery and onboard electronics.
- Factory-painted lightweight fiberglass cowling provides a clean, professional appearance.
- Durable lightweight landing gear with quality foam wheels offers reliable operation from paved or well-maintained grass runways.
- Includes premium Seagull UV DTF decal sheet featuring vibrant colors, outstanding durability, and an easy peel-and-apply process with no water soaking required.
- Complete high-quality hardware package included for straightforward assembly
