I built this one out of curiosity but what a surprise to me when it got in the air. Beautiful flight characteristics with just minor adjustments. The elevators are alittle tricky for a beginner but for the money it's a great second plane. Kids love it cuz it looks cool with the open cockpit.

Hi Cack82, would you please elaborate on the "minor adjustments" made to get the #Freewing Spacewalker flying how you like it?
I agree the open cockpit is neat. If I owned another one the pilot would get a long Snoopy style scarf.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

The other problem was the double elevator pushrod configuration. Getting those elevators level?
They acted like ailerons for a few flights.....oooops
That's really all.
Like I said...it's one of my top five faves to fly now.

I own 2 of them, one still in the box awaiting a paint job. Dang!... that is one nice paint job, Alpha! My old one is my warm up plane. I love the little guy. The only plane I can get into a flat inverted spin, on purpose! Beware of the over heating motor. I made the mistake of flying mine twice in a row. The motor mount melted in flight! Just barely got 'er in! I opened up the air inlets quite a bit. Very airobatic and looks good on low passes. I turned my pilots head (I do this on all my planes, makes them look alive) so he is looking at me on low passes. Doc

The only change I made on mine, other than painting the white parts yellow and pinstriping, is the landing gear. The stock wire gear is weak. I replaced it with a one piece aluminum gear, drilled out for lightening and better spring. I also put larger low bounce wheels on it. What a difference! Doc
