Default RE: The GP Space Walker

I see this is an old thread, but anyone still flying their Great Planes SpaceWalker ARF??

I bought one from a buddy last year, and will be flying it this month(weather permitting).

It has a Saito 91 with MA K-series 14x6 prop and Tru-Turn spinner
...about 9 oz lead on the motor mount.

Aftermarket landing gear with large scale Goodyear tires

I love the look of this plane sooo much, that I plan to purchase a twin cylinder Saito to put on it... any suggestions for what size?? not looking to overpower it, jut eliminate the beed for added lead.

I also am going to modify the firewall area to round it off a bit... I will not be using the cowling at all....


Maiden flight will be with the C.G. at 4.5" as suggested by the manual.
