I found the problem with my engine. The plastic part of the vacuum fitting on the crankcase was broken and, evidenlty, had been cracked for a while. I guess it finally broke all the way so I...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Thanks again Arlyn. I'll check that too. I recently bought a small tube bender so I can reduce the opportunity for pinched lines, etc. but, haven't put to use yet. This will be my first opportunity...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Very sorry to hear about your Spacewalker wreck. Don't blame you for moving on. It's a fun plane to fly but, that big fat wing limits it's acrobatic ability. You have to work hard to make them look...

Yes. Iflew it yesterday and it flew well. I didn't get a chance to completely check out the engine thrust angle correction but, it appears the "up"Iadded to it has helped. The engine is still a bear...

My spark plug adapter arrived today and Iinstalled it in the head along with a new CM6 plug. The blasted thing still won't start. Looks like I'm still having trouble getting fuel to the carb for some...

That's for sure. I'm gonna get the scattergun after 'em. :)

The engine start issue has suffered a set-back. I discovered that my CDIis faulty and have ordered another one. It was shorting between the shield and cap spring so, some component has failed inside...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

Glad you got the incidence issue solved. The wind conditions you describe remind of a few hair raising moments I've had. "White knuckles" describes it pretty well for me. There have also been times...

RE: Seagull Spacewalker II 120 Arf

I flew the Spacewalker again yesterday and she flew very well but, Imay remove a bit more weight from the tail to make her just a tad more nose heavy.
I experienced a very exciting takeoff, similar...
