I got to go over to where the Full scale Spacewalker 2 in hangered and talk withe the guy who built it, nine years. Here is a pick of the full scale two seater, the half scale two seater. You can see the rudder of the single seater in the fore ground and a Sig single seater off to one side. The full scale has been certified, but not flown. He is planning to fly it in about a month, then have a watermelon pick nick. I am going to take my lap top, so folks can fly the twoseater on REAL FLIGHT.

It is in the AP at Grand Prairie. He has the hanger door open every day, and you can see it from the road.

New EA or a new CS?

You really fired life into the Spacewalker. I am particulary fond of the Curtiss P6-E Hawk scheme, I also have a soft spot for the Pea Shooter, photo enclosed and have a good underbelly shot, however to big for here. As the 2 seater is in a Navy scheme, how about a Army Air Corps scheme for the 1 seater? Anyone else have some great stuff to help the Maj. , lets give him all the help we can!!!

With a little tweaking I have the 2 seater flying GREAT on RF G5 and the larger models do themselves well if one really wants to ger into a really fine CS like the one that Maj.Numbscully did for me. I fly on of the 1/3rd scale Sig kits and I think that would be the smallest scale I would represent the model in RF. What's your thoughts? Have you seen one with a Round engine?? They got one flying now down under. Looks GREAT!

It will be a half scale. Jim, the person with half scale two seater, built a half scale single seater, first. The one I make will be just like his. I was building a half scale single seat version, but grew weary, and sold it. Both versions are from scratch, starting with nothing. The single seat version had a Brison 6.4 in it, which I just happen to have one modeled, hehe.

The large size also makes for eye candy that's easily see if included. Things like pinking tapes,rib stiching, metal panels and rivets and fasteners, cockpit and maybe if you have enough polys left over, a pilot. Just dreaming and wishing out loud.
