Seagull Models Douglas Skyraider 15cc ARF

The Seagull Models Douglas Skyraider captures the rugged history of the legendary "Spad" in a high-performance, 63-inch semi-scale ARF. Known for its incredible loiter time and massive ordnance loads in Korea and Vietnam, this Skyraider replica brings that same presence to your flight line. Built with modern laser-cut balsa and plywood, this airframe remains lightweight and agile, whether powered by 15cc gas, glow, or a high-torque electric setup.

🪖 "Sandys" to the Rescue: Scale Detail

This isn't just a basic airframe. Seagull includes a premium suite of scale features including wing guns, drop tanks, a removable antenna, and operational navigation lights. The fiberglass cowl features a dummy radial engine and cowl flap details for an authentic look on the ground and in the air.

💡 Gator-RC Modeler’s Tip: Scale Retracts

While fixed gear is included, the Skyraider really comes to life with rotating retracts. Because the real Skyraider gear rotates 90 degrees as it retracts, ensure you select rotating electric retracts to maintain that legendary scale silhouette in flight.
