The Curare-style pattern plane pays tribute to Hanno Prettner's iconic masterpiece — one of the most celebrated and influential F3A designs ever to grace a competition flight line. Prettner, a multiple F3A World Champion from Austria, defined an era of precision aerobatics with aircraft that set the standard for symmetry, balance, and repeatability. The original Curare became legendary not just for its competition results, but for the way it flew: smooth, authoritative, and utterly predictable in every maneuver. Seagull Model's interpretation honors that legacy while bringing classic pattern style into a new generation — combining traditional balsa-ply construction and carbon fiber reinforcement with modern ARF convenience. Whether you're a longtime F3A enthusiast who remembers the original or a new pilot discovering the discipline for the first time, this is a plane with a story worth flying.
