The Seagull came in and looks great. No broken parts and better quality hardware than past models by them I've had.
Built light with all laser cut wood ply. Several areas are typical Seagull/Phoenix like the firewall, landing gear, etc. But it seems very well designed and built. A couple of things I've never seen before in design are the cowling and the fuse taper.(Or slight lack of.)
The fuse slims down toward the tail from a top side view but has very little taper towards the back. It's almost as wide from the cockpits area to the tail from a side view. Or at least I get that impression. Now the cowling is very differant. At least to me it is. Has long tapering wings that come to a needle sharp point on the sides. There are fairing type grooved cutouts for the leading edge of the wing roots to set in as well. From a topside view the width of the cowl is 9 1/2". Plenty of room for a big four stroke at a 90% angle.
The motor mount is alum. It has grooved channels for sliding the engine back and forth during setup.
The wing tube is alum. There are some CF rods in the hardware bag too. More to come. Photos as well.
I wanted to try and fit a gas engine on it but I'm afraid the weight would not work out. Scott from Brillelli engines has been great about helping me with ideas so far on engines and weight. Looks like I'll do a review with a Saito 150 as power for now.

Had these two pics I took for Scott to look over. The rubbing alcohol bottle is for something common in scale to compare.
