Scruffmeister Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi All, I recently obtained a Seagull Challenger ARTF. Having just got it out the box it appears to have a very odd characteristic that suggests it has been incorrectly built... The port side of the model seems to have been built from 3.5mm balsa, whereas the starboard side is 5mm. I've attached some photos to show what I mean. Can anyone confirm if their Seagull Challenger ARTF exhibits this same characteristic please? Attached some photos. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Don't have one myself, but I really don't think that is right. Surely someone here will have one that they can compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That's not right, had the same problem with a foam lazy bee model once and I did not notice until it was time to join the two fuselage halves together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I would just leave it, and won't make a difference anyway as it's more than strong enough. Looks like a goof up at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If you look at the original JP blurb ( Perkins ) You can clearly see dissimilar side thicknesses in the build I agree with the lads that the model is still strong This shows too on Page 4 and 5 of the ARTF manual Edited By Denis Watkins on 12/01/2020 11:53:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
