RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Actually, with the original aircraft coming in with a 28' wingspan, (making a 1/4 scale model roughly 84" in wingspan) and most of the Lycoming O-200 or 235 engines they were equipped with, turning a...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Greg,

I moved the servos to the rear more for just having a shorter actuating rod than would have been had the servos been mounted in the cabin area. Really six of one, half-a-dozen of another....

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Greg,

It does sound like you have a little more temperate climate than we have here in Michigan. We'll have snow beginning in late October/early November, through March. We've got about...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Greg, Thanks for the note.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos with the cowl off. After a few flights, I removed the DLE-30 and put it in another airplane, so right now, I don't have an...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Vagelis,

You are very welcome. Unfortunately, describing many facets of our hobby requires very detailed and sometimes very intricate/lengthy explanations. I too, like to see photos or...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Vagelis,

The muffler is a J-Tech Pitts-style muffler. I purchased it through Chief Aircraft. Bisson also makes a Pitts style muffler, both will run around $75.00 US. That can be purchased...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Here are some photos of my "Walker" with the Saito 150 removed and a new DL 30 installed. Pitts Muffler and 18X8 Xoar prop from Chief Aircraft. Balances perfectly (I've got my servos in the tail...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Did you build one with the DA 30 for power? Going to switch my Saito 150 for a DA-30 with the new rear intake.

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Rsad,

I think the 20-inch prop should work quite well. I'm spinning an 18/8 on mine with the Saito 150 and there is definately more room for another inch of clearance.

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Though I only have about 4 flights on my Spacewalker with the Saito 150 GK, I've ordered a new rear-carb DLE-30 for it. I've become so enamored with the simplicity and ease of flying giant scale...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Matt, I must say that you did a fantastic job on the cowl. I really like your idea to split the cowl below to access carb and for tuning. Very clean and neat-looking job. Just like full-sized...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Matt, I've got my control surfaces set up for quite a bit of throw on high rates and somewhat lower on low rates. Not sure of the exact numbers, but the manual's low-side is just too little throw. ...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Matt, splitting the cowl makes good sense. Some cowls on full size aircraft are also split horizontally, through the prop-shaft. That way, when looking at the aircraft from the top, you won't see...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

JD,

I built a spacewalker last year, put a new Saito 150GK in it. Flies very well, should also fly well with the G-26. I've got a number of gas airplanes and much prefer the cleanliness of...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Cymaz,

I like your idea of pull-pull on the rudder. Actually, that's how most every aircraft controls rudder, by a rod or cable pull-pull mechanism. I've got my servos mounted in the tail of...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Built my SW last Summer and put a new Saito 150 GK in the nose. Plenty of power! Installed two elevator and one rudder servos (DS-821's) all in the tail section with the 2/56 rods, 821's in the...
