Default RE: Seagull SpaceWalker II

The Seagull Spacewalker II is a good looking plane on the ground and in the air. I've since sold mine but here are a few impressions. You need lots of right rudder on takeoff and then slowly release as the plane lifts off. Coordinated turns are recommended. It is quite an ordinary flyer actually except for the way it spins. Pretty cool. Definitely put on larger wheels and skip the wheel pants. The tail wheel wire is soft and you will find yourself bending it back into shape after almost every flight. Replace it with a Sullivan or equivalent. One last thing you might want to consider is programming flaperons (around 30%) for slowing the plane for landings. This made a huge difference on mine. It would just settle down really nice and easy.
