The Seagull Models Bowers Flybaby (SEA238) is a 1750mm span balsa kit RC plane designed for intermediate to advanced pilots who want a rewarding scale build with genuine visual presence at the field. Based on the classic Bowers Flybaby homebuilt aircraft, this large-scale model captures the character of the original with an Oracover-covered airframe, scale undercarriage, and pre-made sprung rigging wire. The airframe is built from lightweight balsa and balsa plywood, giving it the rigidity and strength needed for a model in this size class. With a wingspan of 175cm (68.9 in), a fuselage length of 122.5cm (48.2 in), and an all-up flying weight of around 3.5kg, this is a substantial scale RC aircraft that commands attention on the ground and in the air. Power is provided by a 10cc to 15cc glow engine, with electric conversion listed as an optional alternative for those who prefer brushless power. The Bowers Flybaby is a kit build, not ready to fly, so expect time at the workbench before heading to the field — which is very much part of the appeal for scale aviation enthusiasts.
