RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
I went to my lhs and found me a new Harrier. Somebody should tell Seagull to start making these planes again because they are great. I still haven't found out what happened but I do know that failsafe kicked on right before it went in...I don't know why but it did.

RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
I now have proof that if you crash thisplane it will make many pieces. I don't know what happened? I have 2.4 radio but I lost complete control of the plane. I was up about 100ft and had plent of time to save the plane if something happened. But the plane started rolling right and the engine went to idle. I had no control in the elevator and rudder because if I did I would have just done rolling harriers to get out of it. This the best plane I've ever flown. And im very sad that it is gone.Also my saito 115 is completely broken. It was buried completely in the mud.

RE: Rolling Harriers
Try slowing the simulaton speed down to like 50. It seems very slow but it will teach you how to do them really fast. Then once you can do it relatively well start increasing the simulation speed. The major thing that will help you is doing slow rolls/rolling circles. I also spend a lot time with just a radio practicing the inputs This helps a lot. The yak-54 is the best plane in that game for this kind of stuff. I could make some recordings of rolling harriers for you if you would like. Joe

RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
The plane is very light. The plane isn't too heavy. I'm only running 15% nitro because I want my engine to last a while. Maybe thats the problem........Did you have a problem with engine performance when you first got the engine? I have about 40 flights on the plane now. I figured the engine should be broke in by now....maybe not

RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
I was getting about 10,500 to 11,000 rpm out of it. I tried a 16/4 prop on it, but the performance was even worse.

RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
I put a Saito 115 witha 15/6 prop on mine and I can't get any pull out of a hover with it. It hovers at full throtle. I put a pump on it which helps but I'm just not getting the performance out of it that I was looking for..Any ideas?

RE: Seagull Harrier 90 NIB. How much $
This is plane is worth a whole lot more than $129. I paid $150 for it from my LHS. THIS PLANE IS THE BEST. It is a pretty good size plane going through the air. Come across the field at about 3/4 throttle and perform a 4 point roll. A manuevar that is very simple but the plane makes it look so cool. I got my Harrier about a month ago and I have probably 40 flights on it now. I took it out today to see how well it would handle a 10mph wind. This is what that plane was made for, extremely slow stuff. I could slow the plane down to a walking kind of speed. The landings are very impressive with this plane. It comes in so nice for a 3 point landing. If you don't get what I mean by this all I'm trying to say is that this plane is worth $300 to me. My LHS has another one sitting on the shelf and I'm going to go buy that one too.
