The Seagull Models Ryan PT-22 Recruit (SEA288) is a 1/4 scale balsa wood RC plane kit of the classic American military training aircraft, designed for intermediate to advanced pilots flying gasoline engines in the 33 to 40cc range. Spanning an impressive 90 inches (228.6 cm), this large-scale RC aircraft brings a high level of accuracy and surface detail to the bench and the flightline. The kit includes an electric conversion option, making it adaptable for pilots who prefer electric power over gasoline. With a flying weight of approximately 15.4 to 16.8 lbs and a fuselage length of 65.2 inches, this is a serious weekend flyer that rewards careful building and confident piloting.
