Default GP Spacewalker ARF

Thanks, Guys! Well, it looks like the Spacewalker is sure getting good press!

It sounds like you fellas just assembled it and flew with no mods. I guess I should forget about the wing incidence “problem” as it sounds like it isn’t reality, or, at least insignificant.

Did any of you feel it necessary to beef-up the firewall or ‘glass the wing root? How about the supplied hardware! Acceptable quality?

How about the hinges? CA? I sure have a rough time with those. The GP website FAQS say to hinge both the control and fixed surfaces at the same time, i.e., install the aileron/rudder/elevator as it will be and CA with them together BUT….

…..The Spacewalker manual which I downloaded and printed says to do one side at a time ---- install the hinges in just the aileron, CA them and then install in the wing and CA that half (???).

I’ve only built five planes (four from kits, one ARF) and I’m not very good at it so any suggestions to get me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! -dave-
