The original Spacewalker was designed by Jesse Anglin of Hendersonville, North Carolina in the mid 1980's. Despite the fact it's a relatively new design, the Spacewalker still manages to capture all the spirit of Aviation's 'Golden Age' - the 1930's.This is an icon of American civil aircraft. Particularly appreciated by amateur aircraft makers, the space walker is an aircraft with delicious old-fashion design, inspired from what wasproduced in the 30's, the absence of a canopy being a characteristic of this period.Designed from the start to handle any kind of sport aerobatics, it has proven to be one of the
predictable, stable approaches and soft, slow landings.
Building an RC plane quick build kit may sound pretty intimidating. But trust me, if I can do it, anyone can do it. All it takes is some patience, the right tools, and some spare time. The detailed instructions that come with this kit will take you through each step of the building process.
Let’s get started!

Align the locking device with the fuselage and cockpit. Once you are satisfied with the fit Glue the locking device to the cockpit as shown. Check the cockpit if it is locked securely before each flight.

Prepare the wing joint assembly by gluing the C9 (2mm) in between the two F5 (3mm). Insert the wing spar to the wings and put the wings together as shown. When you are satisfied with the fit, slow-curing epoxy should be applied sparingly on wing spar and wing root to establish a strong bond on the wing joints. Set it aside for at least 24 hours until the epoxy cures. To further reinforce the wing joint and wing centre section, fibreglass the wing centre section by using slow-curing epoxy and a piece of fibreglass cloth 250mm x 50mm x 2 pcs top and bottom as shown in the picture above.

Hinge the elevator to the stabiliser and glue it in place. Ensure the movement is free of stiction.
Prepare to makes some holes on the wheel pants according to the landing gear as shown in the picture. Put the wheel pants, T-wheel collar and the wheels on the landing gear. Then use a wheel collar to lock the wheel in place. In the mean time, use the screws provided in the kit to lock the wheel pants in place. Tightened the grub screws on the wheel collar, T-wheel collar and secure it with locktite. Finally, Ensure the wheels are able to rotate smoothly.
Trail-fit the stabiliser onto the fuselage as shown. Apply slow-curing epoxy glue to the mounting area on the fuselage. Align the stabiliser to the fuselage straight and level before glue starts to cure slowly. Set it aside until it dries.
Insert the wood piece S2 here.Sand and shape the balsa block according to the wing centre section.

Tail wheel bracket installationInstall the tail wheel bracket as shown. Bend a 90 degree on the tail wheel piano wire as shown. Trail fit the vertical fin and rudder in place. Use a pen to mark the wire location on the rudder. Drill a hole and trail fit the rudder and see if the alignment is right.

Insert two wing bolts screws with washers as shown . Align the wing to the fuselage even and true to the stabiliser and vertical fin. Once you are satisfied, mark the wing bolt location on the fuselage wing mount with a pen thru the hole on the C5 wing mount. Then drill a hole big enough to hold the blind nut. Install the blind nut and trail fit the wing once again and make sure everything is square and even. Then secure the blind nut with epoxy glue.
Then install the vertical fin onto the stabiliser as shown. Use a straight edge to ensure it sits perpendicular to the stabiliser. Glue a 3mm balsa block to the joint where the rudder and stabiliser meets. Then carve it into a fillet for a smooth contour surface as shown.
Note: Excess glue may run into the threads and cause the wing mounting screws to become stuck in the blind nuts when installing.
