Seagull Gilmore Red Lioan Racer 33cc Gas ARF

Seagull Gilmore Red Lion Racer 33cc Gas ARF aeroplane

The Wedell-Williams No.44 air racer (to give it its proper title) was one of the stars of the American racing circuit in the early 1930s. Roscoe Turner's Gilmore Special was the third Model 44 present at the races in 1932, trimmed in red with the Gilmore Oil Company logos and race number 121 displayed on the fuselage. Turner came 3rd in the Bendix and Shell Dash races, but returned in 1933 with a new '44 to win both. He went on to win many more and establish the plane as an all-time classic, and Seagull's new Gilmore Red Lion 33cc perfectly captures the machine's style and panache. It is designed for a 33cc petrol or glow engine, and electric power is also an option. There is a large top hatch, so maintenance and battery changes at the field are simple and convenient, while the two-piece plug-in wing means transport and storage will not be a problem.
