Features |
Carry the Sea Fury’s scale realism as far as you like, with numerous
accessories and building options available. For example, the kit’s detailed, photo-illustrated
instruction manual shows how to build these striking split flaps — which are
fully operational! |
The hand-laid, gel-coated fiberglass cowl is strong, lightweight,
and a good example of the quality found throughout this kit. Top Flite also includes
many easy-to-install ABS details — radiator scoop, wing blisters, landing gear
doors. |
The Sea Fury’s wing features fully interlocking, lock-and-tab
construction for fast, easy assembly. The wing fairing is built up for a perfect
fit, and the all-balsa exterior offers an ideal surface for finishing.

From warrior to winning racer.
|
In 1942, Britain’s Royal Air Force saw the need for a good long-range
fighter…but it was the Royal Navy which picked up the Fury and introduced it
to their Air Fleet in 1948. Christened “Sea Fury,” it proved a capable warrior,
and in 1949 set a speed record flying from London to Rome. No surprise, then,
that the former warbird is often seen today at such events as the Reno Air Races
— which in 1999 featured eight Sea Fury contenders.
- CAD-engineered wood parts interlock perfectly for fast, easy
assembly — fiberglass cowl and ABS details add impressive realism with minimal
effort.
- Dual aileron servos simplify set-up, add precision to control
response, and provide the safety of a backup in case one servo fails.
- An effective combination of Selig 8036 and 8037 airfoils offers
a slow stall speed, excellent stall resistance and superior handling throughout
the rpm range.
- Top Flite’s attention to realism in this Gold Edition kit
extends to placing the tailwheel at the scale location — and including tips in
the instructions for creating an arrestor hook and 5-bladed static display prop.
- Heavy-duty wire landing gear is provided, or you can add optional,
standard pneumatic retracts — available custom-designed for this kit from Century
Jet Models and from Robart.
