CURARE PATTERN .61-.75 ARF BLUE EL-RETRACT SEAGULL

This airplane draws inspiration from one of the most influential FAI pattern designs of the golden era, widely associated with Hanno Prettner, 1977 World Champion.

Rather than a direct reproduction, it is a modern interpretation refined for today’s pilots, while preserving the clean lines and precision-focused philosophy that defined classic pattern flying. Built for those who understand that true precision comes from pilot skill, not automation.
