Thanks to the early departure of my 90" SpaceWalker (see thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...72&forumid=144 ) I now have a Os max 91 that needs a new home any ideas on a good bird to fill the void I feel with the loss of mine. I really enjoyed the three flights I got from the SpaceWalker and would like to find a similar flying plane with out spending a fortune.

Bummer, I have a 91 FX in my Great planes shoestring. Flies great. Not crazy about ARFs but it is an awsome plane. After I finish my Fusco Long EZ I think I will blow up the plans for the Bipe Stik and build it for the 91 FX. Should be sweet also.

another great flyer would be the Balsa USA 1/4 cub, but I am putting a Saito 180 in mine.

Have fun, sorry for your loss.

Vtol_guy I have a couple caps and several other aerobatic high speed sport planes but I kinda got attached to the slow predictable flight of the Spacewalker for a lazy relaxed type flying.

Flyboy I will find out next chance I get if I like the Cubs I have a 76" one ready to fly first nice day we get. And if I like the 600 size I may go for a bigger one.

Get the UCD3D arf. ($179) I practice the Spacewalker on G2 simulator. When I fly my UCD3D, it is the most similar in term of lazy slow flight.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...72&forumid=144

check this thread I described the crash here

I would like to have the same one again but I haven't found any one whom knows the kit, It was a 90" Bud Nosen built by a old club member 20 years ago. We think he scaled up some plans but don't know.

www.rcsites.net/johnvh has a vid of his Magnum 75 powered plane. I have one with an OS 65LA and it performs similarly.

Have you thought about the Sig Spacewalker? It's an 80 span plus. I flew mine with a 120 4 banger so your 91 should do well. The big Sig cub would be a good choice also. It's a great kit too. Also maybe the Dynaflyte cub would be a good one.
