Hi guys I fly the seagull spacewalker. And I know they are still in buisiness as the have just released a couple of new kits. Or at least new to me.

The only problems with the spacewalker was the badly designed undercarriage and the wood/metal push rod.

The push rod had a big ugly plastic cover over the wood/metal join. This was fouling the inside causing the elevator to stick in the down position. Not very good when you dont want to go in that direction. So I gut the plastic off and bound it with thread and the some superglue to hold it. Works a treat.

The undercarriage bent on the first landing and were madfe up of wire and big ugly buckles over the join with solder through it.

I bent them back into position and on the second landing the legs broke and the spats went through the wing sheet. So I had a nice repair to do. This didnt take long I finished the sheet in 30 minutes and covered it next day. I looked at replacing the legs but decided to solder them but make them so strong they wouldnt fail again.

How wrong was I !!

They broke again so I went and bought Ripmax wire legs these have been on it ever since and i have flown it for the last year and a bit.

Good kits the seagulls.
