Thanks

The plane is in great shape so I really don't need the whole kit.

Thanks

Well, I really do not think that I would sell the kit anyways. Might be my next winter project. But I did look at a few sites for a cowling for this model and even looked on Fiberglass Specialties web site, but could not find one. Sorry ...................

I believe the cowl is the same size as the one for the Sig Spacewalker II. Fiberglass Specialties has one for the Sig kit.

Tom, I contacted SIG and ordered their quarter scale cowl. The Seagull Spacewalker is about the same size as the quarter scale SIG version of the plane. The price was very reasonable so all I need is to see if I need to make any mods to the front of my plane to accommodate the SIG cowl. That was very good info.

Thanks again,

You might also want to check out this site, as they have a Space Walker Cowl. But not exactly sure for which size Space Walker. Looks like they are in England.

Granpooba the site you suggested is located in England and the cowl is pricier since the Euro is about a third more than the USD. The SIG cowl I purchased also has the engine molded into the cowl. Appreciate your checking for me.

The cowl listed by Carbon Copy in the UK is actually for another Seagull model, the Razzle 3-D. It is FAR too small for the Spacewalker 120. It is not shaped right, and is too square for the firewall. Perhaps it would fit the 40 size Seagull SW model, but even this would not look right. The best solution is probably the Sig 1/4 cowl or the Fiberglass Specialties version. They make quality stuff.

Having said that, I bought a Carbon Copy cowl for the Precedent Turbulent kit I have. I thought it was fairly priced, shipped quick and painlessly, and is superb quality. It has a shiny gel coat finish. You can opt for other colors for an upcharge if you wish on all their cowls. I highly recommend them.

I too recently noticed that Horizon has very few SW 120 parts still available. When the plane was discontinued recently, any remaining spares departed quickly.

I have been flying mine for a couple of years now, and love it. I am using a Mintor 22 for power - very good match.

I have used Fiberglass Specialties before and exchanged a couple of emails with them today. I bought the Sig 25% Spacewalker cowl which pretty much matches up with the Seagull Spacewalker with a few minor adjustments. I have an Evolution 26 gas engine in mine, the engine comes from MVVS and was offered by Horizon Hobbby. They no longer carry it but it is one great engine. I am thinking of buying the Evolution 40cc from one of my flying buddies. It is also an MVVS engine and I think Horizon still carries them. I have a plane in mind for it.

Thanks,

I see that it has been a while since anyone has posted on this thread so I just finished my winter project and thought I would try to wake the thread up!
Finished it up at the end of January.
Power is a Saito 125 - Futaba radio and servos upgrades were Dubro wheels/tires , Sullivan fuel tank, Tru-turn Spinner, pilot figures were MIA so this pilot is Great Planes,
Hope to put a first flight on it as soon as the field drys out!
