Default Is GP Spacewalker truly 1/4 scale?

I want to participate in a big bird fly-in in Ft. Payne, AL in June, so I'm looking for an 80" span or greater arf, or a "true 1/4 scale" arf (their requirements). I've narrowed it down to the GP PT-19 or Spacewalker.

Does anyone know if the Spacewalker is truly 1/4 scale. I cannot find specs on the full size version. Thanks, guys.

No it is not. 1/4 scale is 84", the Great Planes is 78" and does not come with 4-40 hardware which is required to fly at must 1/4 scale meets.

The Sig kit is scale.

I have a GP Spacewalker and the wingspan is 79" + a tad (not no more check out pic). The full scale info I can find lists the Spacewalker at 26', so 1/4 scale would be 78" I would call that 1/4 scale if they only measure the wingspan. The 4/40 hardware is no problem, I changed mine.
