No other R/C seaplane looks or fl ies like the Seawind. This sport-scale replica of the classic homebuilt amphibious aircraft
draws attention wherever it’s fl own, whether at the fl ying fi eld or the local lake. Substitute optional retracts for the included
fi xed landing gear and you’ll be able to fl y from land OR water with the same plane! The fi berglass wingtips offer excellent
stability during fl ight and double as fl oats to support the Seawind on the water. Without the need for bulky suspended fl oats,
the model fl ies faster than typical seaplanes. Assembly moves quickly, too. With its low number of parts, the Seawind ARF
requires only 15-18 hours of building time. The fuselage and wingtips are gel-coated fi berglass. The built-up wing and tail
section are made of balsa and factory-covered in MonoKote. The wing simply plugs into an aluminum joiner and is secured
with nylon bolts — no tools needed. The unique boom-mounted engine design not only enhances the model’s looks, but also
reduces the likelihood of water “spray” reaching the engine during takeoff and landing. As your sleek Seawind ARF touches
down gracefully onto the water, it hits you: this is a seaplane like no other, in both looks and performance.

For convenience with multiple LiPo packs,
there's the DC PolyCharge4. Each of its four
independent outputs can charge a one-to-four
cell Lithium-Polymer pack. It's ideal if you don't
have the time for one-at-a-time charging - and
don't want the expense and hassle of multiple
chargers. Each output can handle packs from 300
to 3000mAh. Set the capacity, and PolyCharge4
will automatically set the charge rate to get you
started – and use light and sound cues to tell you
when your pack is done.

Like the full-size Fokker D.VII that challenged Allied air forces in
WWI, this prebuilt park flyer is a spirited performer. And because the
Fokker D.VII park flyer is an ARF, the high-quality, laser-cut wood
parts assemble quickly and easily. Its prebuilt balsa/ply structures
are precovered in a high-quality film. Lots of impressive details are
included, from the vacuum-formed cowl and realistic machine guns
to the scale-shaped landing gear and scale wheels. The cabanes
and interplane struts come already painted and are shaped for easy
installation and proper alignment. An out-runner brushless motor
gives this model a great power-to-weight ratio and long flight times.
The ElectriFly RimFire 28-30-950 motor (GPMG4560) was found to
be ideal for the Fokker D.VII.
