Seagull Models Gilmore Red Lion 81in ARF 45-55cc RC Plane - SEA390

The Seagull Models Gilmore Red Lion (SEA390) is a giant scale ARF RC plane built around the iconic 1930s air racing aircraft, spanning 81 inches and designed for 45–55cc petrol engines. This is an Almost Ready to Fly balsa and plywood construction kit aimed at experienced fixed-wing pilots who want a large, visually striking scale model with genuine presence on the flight line. The Gilmore Red Lion's distinctive red racing livery is factory applied, and the airframe arrives largely pre-built, significantly reducing bench time before maiden flight.

Key Features
