I wouldn't put the Spacewalker in the aerobatic category, it's a good flier and will roll and loop but thats about it. What size are you looking for?

OK lets narrow it down alittle more, are you looking for 3D or mild aerobatics. How much do you want to spend? Do you have a motor you want to use?

The ARF is really sweet. A friend had one out 2 weeks ago, it's real looker and flew great but then again he could make a pinic table fly great. He had a Saito 180 and it was doing every trick in the book. He did shorten the nose moment by 1 1/2" I believe.

Well another club member flew his Kit Sukoi last Saturday with electric power, it was something. The kit builds very light and strong.
