Default SIG 4* VS GP Spacewalker

I'm ready for my next plane. (3rd. one). I want it to be a low wing with ease of flying for someone with one year experience. I have pretty much narrowed it down to a 4* or a Spacewalker. To me, the Spacewalker on Realflight Sim. flies great. I already have a GMS .76 engine to go on what I get.
Comments from someone having flown both would be appreciated.

Don't know about the other, but the Spacwalker is a nice easy flying plane. Do not over power it. The firewall is thinner than the one one my WM SS40S ! I REALLY over powered mine BIG TIME! I REALLY wish I would had went no bigger than the OS .70 Surpass or equal. The YS .63 would have even been enough.

Nice flying plane though,
Dennis

A1 - you might think this is crazy but look at this . a U- can do 3-d 46 0r 60 . you can have some fun & it flys slow. lands like a trainer. start out on low throws ( LOW THROWS! ) wrcflyer

I've been flying the GP Space Walker with .91 Surpass power here at 6300 ft. elevation for about 4 years. No problem with stock firewall. The plane needed that much nose weight anyway, and I would not say it's overpowered.
It's a great combination and a real pleasure to fly. My plan is to get another to keep "just in case" because I think I'll always want to have one. Anybody comfortable flying a 4-channel trainer should make the transition to handling the Space Walker quickly and easily. A couple of flights on the cord with instruction might be a good idea. Because of its size, things don't happen real quickly, so you want to be well ahead of the airplane even though it flies pretty slowly.

As to the 4-Star, it's proven itself for years as a good intermediate's secondary trainer and general sport flyer. I don't think you'll go wrong with either.

I've flown both with a ST-75 on each, and they fly somewhat equally. THE 4*60 is better in stunt performance..............[8D]
