Seagull Models GhostWriter Super Chipmunk ARF – 81" Wingspan (35-40cc)

Experience the thrill of airshow history with the Seagull Models GhostWriter Super Chipmunk. This 81-inch giant scale ARF is a stunning replica of the modified deHavilland Chipmunk made famous by Nathan Hammond. Designed for precision aerobatics and stable scale flight, this airframe features expert balsa/ply construction and the iconic factory-applied GhostWriter livery.

✈️ Legendary Airshow Heritage

The "GhostWriter" is an icon of the North American skywriting and aerobatics circuit. This model captures that legacy with a wide flight envelope—performing crisp rolls and loops with ease, while maintaining the stable landing characteristics the Chipmunk is known for.

Key Features

Giant Scale Presence: Large 81" wingspan with a striking, high-visibility "GhostWriter" film finish.

Rugged Scale Landing Gear: Includes CNC-machined aluminum oleo struts for durability and authentic ground handling.

Operational Flaps: Fully functional flaps allow for shorter takeoffs and incredibly slow, stable landings.

Easy Transport: Two-piece plug-in wings with a heavy-duty aluminum tube joiner for quick field assembly.

Superior Detail: Painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, scale pilot figure, 3D-printed cockpit components, and crystal-clear canopy.
