My email is cigarslicer@softhome.net if you are interested in the Spacewalker. I've cursed this beast to my basement! It's just too dang big. Fact is, last time I took it to fly I " masned" a favorite Clancy Lazy Bee( the good Bee, not the ARF) to death loading the monster.
The Spacewalker needs radio gear installed and hinges. I took the factory hinges out as I did not trust them after noticing two of them coming loose. It really does not need much to be flying again. It flies better than the average Spacewalker and is more aerobatic as we removed all but 2 degrees of dihedral from the wing.Fies good on a 60- 1.20 glow engine or one of the smaller gas engines .No real damage on the plane to speak of.The few patches in the covering were from hanger rash and unloading and loading the beast.The patches are the correct color. I was going to strip the yellow and red covering and make a PT-19 out of it with the blue and yellow PT colors and decals, just never got to it.I had a cowling for it from www.fiberglassspecialtiesinc.com/ and I gave it to a friend last week. The cowl they make is fiberglass, less than $40.00 and WELL worth the money, but it flies fine without one or you can make one.
Shipping nationwide is less than $60.00 via Greyhound.
Somebody give this thing a home.I'm just done with big planes.
I'll trade it for some good cigars.
