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.

 

• 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.
