Default RE: Seagull Space Walker Build

Had my space walker II for a month now. Tried to fly it last week. I have a Thunder Tiger Pro .46 in mine. Mine on rollout to take off veered to the left. I am giving it full right rudder to steer. It was gonna hit the fence and I pulled on the elevator and it took off.
However, I still had lots of right rudder and the damn thing cartwheeled on the runway. Major damage was when the wing came off,
it broke the wing saddle. I have since put it back on and used 30 minute epoxy with fiberglas cloth. I don't really like the tail wheel setup all that much. Seems harder to get the plane to turn when using rudder (on the ground). I've also heard that the space walker likes just a bit of speed when you land. So, definetly not like any type of trainer.
