Seagull Models Curare .61 Pattern RC Plane, ARF with JP Retracts, Green

This is the Seagull Models Curare .61 Pattern RC Plane, ARF with JP Retracts, Green

The Curare .61 is inspired by the widely popular Hanno Prettner 1977 World Champion FAI pattern aircraft of the golden era. The Seagull Models recreation is a refined modern interpretation that still aims to preserve the fine details that define classic pattern flight.

This airplane draws inspiration from one of the most influential FAI pattern designs of the golden era, widely associated with Hanno Prettner, 1977 World Champion.

Rather than a direct reproduction, it is a modern interpretation refined for today’s pilots, while preserving the clean lines and precision-focused philosophy that defined classic pattern flying. Built for those who understand that true precision comes from pilot skill, not automation.

Designed for precision. This is a high-performance aircraft intended for experienced pilots.

What's in the box?

• (1) Seagull Models Curare .61 ARF

• (1) JP Electric Retracts

Features:

• Fully symmetrical airfoil tail surfaces (horizontal and vertical) deliver superior tracking and precise aerodynamic response compared to flat-plate designs.
• Dual servos for independent trimming and flaperon mixing of the ailerons
• 2-piece plug-in wings and 2-piece plug-in horizontal stabilizers allow easy transport and storage without compromising structural integrity.
• Single servo with domino brass joiner for precise pitch control and synchronized dual-surface response of the elevator
• Traditional built-up balsa and balsa-ply structure with carbon fiber reinforcement in critical load areas ensures low wing loading and high torsional stiffness.
• Rudder pull-pull system for minimal slop and optimal CG balance
• Professionally applied heat-shrink covering enhances orientation and in-flight visibility.
• Dedicated flap servos for stable, controlled landings
• Factory-fitted with a JP 3-piece electric retract set (main + nose) for superior ground handling and scale appearance.
• PU rubber wheels with lightweight plastic hubs for smooth operation on various surfaces.
• Supplied with all necessary hardware for both glow and electric configurations.
• Optimized for .61–.75 glow engines for authentic throttle response, while fully supporting 60E electric setups with convenient battery access and flexible 6S configuration.
• Optional tuned pipe (Pipe65.75) available to maximize glow engine efficiency and output.
• Removable cabin top for quick access to electronics, painted fiberglass cowl, and high-quality pre-finished components throughout.
