Default The GP Space Walker

Flew the Spacewalker yesterday. The G23 pulled it off the ground in what appeared to be 4ft! No trim required at all. I left the 6 Oz. cowl off for the maiden flight, so the CG was slightly aft of recommended. Still, it flew as docile as a big-wing Stik.

At 10 lbs 0 Oz dry, my Spacewalker flew no different than the ones I've seen with OS 61FX and 91FS, retaining all the excellent slow flight characteristics that gave this full-scale homebuilt aircraft its namesake.

The only thing I wish different is for the wing to be slight shorter so it will fit in my pickup bed better.
