New EF releases from Seagull

The new three electric flight models unveiled by Seagull at Nuremburg in February have just gone on sale in the UK.

They're smaller versions of existing Seagull favourites so a Mini Sparrowhawk is joined by a Nemesis and an MXS-R. Sharing almost identical schemes to the larger models they span 35.4", 35.4" and 38.8" respectively and should have an all-up weight of around 2lbs. Seagull say they're designed for 450/480-size outrunners and 3S Li-Po batteries.

We've examined all three and quality seems very good although the Sparrowhawk has sheeted wings rather than the open structure shown in the press release photo (opposite).

The RRP's are £104.99 and £109.99 for the slightly larger Nemesis. Look out for the RCM&E reviews in due course.
