Default Re: Possible 33% 260 from seagull models $399

Well,
They have had a red and yellow 40 size spacewalker forever. Kyle and Doug went through 10 of them and crashed the living crap out of all but one. They were great planes but the combination of Doug's terrible flying and overpowering them with large four-strokes and Kyle being in the right place at the wrong time, (That would be anytime Doug was in the air!) well......... It just didn't make for a long-lasting airframe.
Now Seagull has a 82" span red and yellow Spacewalker that pretty much looks like a blown-up version of the 40 size one and they appear to do just fine. One problem with the looks department..... They have followed true Seagull tradition by putting on some wheel pants that look like they are way too big! I'm betting somebody over there at the factory has a bit of trouble matching up size of the pants to the rest of the airframe. Plane flies fine though!
