Giant Thunder Stick (50-65cc) 2.45m / 96.5in

Designed with the confident sport flyer in mind, Seagull's impressively large Giant Thunder Stick is a hugely versatile machine that satisfies a variety of needs. Glider tug, sport aerobat, large model trainer, engine test bed, 3D trainer or sedate Sunday slow-flyer, it'll do the lot, in big style.

Conventionally constructed from quality balsa and ply to make it stronger yet surprisingly light, this is a very quick kit to assemble, particularly as Seagull has done most of the hard work for you. Large though it may be, two-piece plug-in wings make it an eminently practical transport proposition and the sort of aeroplane you'll gravitate towards when the weather's a bit inclement and you want something you can rely on. When all's said and done, it's a massive amount of beautifully assembled, neatly covered, nice-flying model for the money.
