FAQs for Seagull Extra 330LX 3D 82.1″ ARF 50-60cc
1. What is included in the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D 82.1″ ARF kit?
The Seagull Extra 330LX 3D ARF kit typically includes the main airframe components (fuselage, wings, tail assemblies), a hardware package (screws, hinges, control linkages), a detailed instruction manual, and decals. Engines, radios, servos, and other electronics are not included and must be purchased separately.
2. What engine size is recommended for the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D?
This model is designed for 50-60cc gasoline engines. The choice between a 50cc or 60cc engine depends on your preference for performance versus fuel efficiency. A 60cc engine will provide more power and better performance for 3D maneuvers.
3. Is the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D suitable for beginners?
Due to its size and performance capabilities, the Extra 330LX 3D is recommended for intermediate to advanced pilots. It’s designed for 3D aerobatics, which requires a higher skill level to fly safely and effectively.
4. Can I install an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine?
Yes, the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D can be modified to use an electric power system. You will need a motor equivalent to a 50-60cc gasoline engine in terms of power output, along with an appropriate ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), batteries, and a mounting system that fits the airframe.
5. What is the wingspan and weight of the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D?
The Seagull Extra 330LX 3D has a wingspan of 82.1 inches (approximately 208.5 cm). The flying weight is typically around 17-19 lbs (7.7-8.6 kg), depending on the equipment installed.
6. How many channels does the radio need to be?
A minimum of 4 channels is required for basic operations (throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder). However, for full 3D capability and to make use of additional features like flaps or dual rates/expo settings, a 6-8 channel radio system is recommended.
7. What type of servos are recommended?
High-torque, metal gear servos are recommended due to the large control surfaces and the demands of 3D flying. Typically, you will need at least 6 servos: 2 for ailerons, 2 for elevators, 1 for the rudder, and 1 for the throttle (if using a gasoline engine).
8. How difficult is it to assemble the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D?
Assembly is straightforward for someone with previous ARF model experience. The instruction manual provides detailed steps. However, it’s important to take your time, especially with aligning control surfaces and ensuring a correct center of gravity (CG) for optimal flight performance.
9. Can the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D be disassembled for transport?
Yes, the wings can be removed for transport. The model is designed with convenience in mind, featuring a two-piece wing and a removable tail section if needed. This makes it easier to fit in a car or for storage.
10. Where can I purchase replacement parts for the Seagull Extra 330LX 3D?
Replacement parts can be purchased from the manufacturer or through various online and physical hobby shops that stock Seagull models. It’s advisable to contact the retailer where you purchased the model or the manufacturer directly for specific parts.
