RE: GP 1/4 SpaceWalker + G-23 ??
I know this is a real old thread but i couldn't resist answering.
I have had a G-23 in the Great Planes Spacewalker and it flew like a pig.
The engine was way to heavy for the airframe and airfoil.
I switched to a Saito 100 and it was much more responsive to my control inputs.
I was able to make tighter turns, loops and rolls as well as landing at almost a walking speed.

I got one with a OS 1.20AX in it.
Floats , floats, floats so much makes it hard to land.
The OS make it scoot right along.

I hear ya'. It's almost like you have to do a harrier of sorts and then pancake it down. It's a very relaxing plane if the winds under 10 mph otherwise there's that ungodly wing shimmy.

I'm building the Spacewalker II from Sig. How did you mount the 120 engine and what muffler did you use? Did you cover it with Koveral?
