Well, I finally did it,
I got my second GreatPlanes SpaceWalker ARF.
If you read the first post that started this thread, you will understand why I got my second
SpaceWalker.
Let me brief you... I loved this plane because it is so realistic and flies as if it was your slave.
It is so loyal to your movements and so graceful, yet it can fly inverted one foot off the ground
and four point rolls etc. I was sponsored with this plane.
I love this plane!
Now for MY review:
This plane builds fast, with all the parts given to you except the glue and "guts"
There isn't much to do except to start reading and gluing.
One of the things I like the most about this plane is all the engine
screws are socket head screws.
You will find that after about 4 nights of 2 1\2 hrs of work this plane is ready.
Another really nice fact is all the covering on the plane is Monocote.
Now it's time for what most people think is the hardest thing to do -
take off for the first time on a plane thats never flown.
After take off you are amazed of how easy it really is.
Hmmm, Let's see what it can do. As you do a roll, it slowly rolls over but with a little elevator while you are inverted it rolls over very straight. As you do a fly by you can hear the O.S. 91FS quietly putting. As you fly by and do a bank you feel as if a crop duster just flew over you (Full SIZE)
I promise this, if you fly at the right speed and about 100ft this plane will fool the
crowd for the REAL THING!
The O.S.91SII FS engine perfectly matches the real SpaceWalker capabilities.
With an O.S. 91SII FS this plane can hardly hover, but that doesn't mean that this plane isn't fast, with a 14\6 prop it reaches very realistic speeds.
If you have a slight wind you can get this plane to park in the sky at idle, its like a scale plane.
This plane is big, but because of its small fuse you can easily fit it in a mini van.
I would recommend this plane to anyone who wants to "enjoy" the hobby and just go sit
in a lounge chair or wants to be on there toes with flying over the runway inverted.
It is very versatile.
Here are some pictures of the plane right out of the box
You can see how big this plane is, but don't be fooled by the plastic over the plane.
The monocote is not wrinkled.
