I have built and flown two Sig Space Walker II's.
As mentioned above, this is an excellent aircraft,
good looking and it flys very well. In so far as
building the aircraft is concerned, it is not a
one or two week job. It is, as was when Sig used to have a lot of different kits on the market,
a typical Sig kit. There is a lot of building
involved, but the kit, including the manual,
is an excellent kit. The aircraft can be flown
, four strokewise, with a 1.20 or 1.50 engine.
Go for it.

I built and flew a 1/3 scale Spacewalker some years ago. I powered mine with a Q52. It was plenty of power. A Q42 or G38 would be fine.
The rolls aren't as axial as some of the shoulder winged aerobats but the Spacewalker is easy to fly with no bad habits.
As someone else mentioned, it was a typical Sig kit. I didn't care for the 3 pc wing. It got loose over time. If I did it again and could transport a big wing, I would go the 1 piece route.

You will not be sorry with the way it will fly! I built the first kit to hit Indiana, and detailed it to represent Hazel's plane. It fly very well at 20 lbs with a G38. It did not, as suggested earlier in this string, roll axially, but it would get around a roll, and would loop from level flight. Best of all, it actually DID land at a fast walking speed!
It really was a lot of building (typical SIG), but a good kit and manual. I probably had 75-100 flights on mine before I sold it, and had no trouble with the wing loosening.

SPACE WALKER
BUILT ONE. THE CENTER WING SECTION SEEMS TO BE THE MAST BUILD, AND NEEDS CLOSE ATTENTION AS IT CARRIES THE ENTIRE PLANE. YOU WILL FIND IT TO BE A PAIN IN THE (WELL YOU KNOW),
BUT THE REST OF THE PLANE IS A BREEZE.
AWSOME BIRD. MY FAVORITE. LOOKS LIKE IT FLEW RIGHT OUT OF THE 60s.
[email protected] FOR PICS.
OR 931-358-5389.
WAS VERY MATICULATE ABOUT BUILDING MINE (41/2 MONSTHS)
WORKING ON IT DAILY.
