Bill, I took those pics last Monday. Right now, we 25mph winds and it's snowing. the maiden will most likely happen in June.

Are you going to purchase the Seagul Spacewalker ? From what I've read, most like it. I'm surprised that no owners have replied. Cotman and I have similar sized birds, that's why we responded.
Tom, any report on the maiden or subsequent flights? I'm especially curious how the twin worked for weight and power.

I had several models to maiden this year, and the weather has not ben cooperative.

The Magnum twin has had it's break in runs, and taxi tests have been performed. The motor runs/idles well. During the taxi tests, the tail would come up easily with less than 1/2 throttle. I'm sure that the performance will be more than adequate.

Maybe. Just maybe, I'll do the maiden tonight. I have a 1/4 Taylorcraft that has only two flights. I'm still playing with prop combinations on it.
