Hi
Does anyone have one and could tell my how it flies and building experince of this kit.
I'm a intermidiate flyer but still wants a machine that are easy to fly with and slow and stable in landing.

The 1/3 Spacewalker is a pussycat, but not as a trainer. Since you're skill level is intermediate, you'll love the way it flies.
For you, it will feel like a trainer at reduced throttle, yet will do pretty decent aerobatics (but no, it's not a pattern ship).
As far as building it, well, let's just say that it helps if you like the building part of the hobby. Sig has outdone itself on piece count alone for the Spacewalker.
It's a lot more involved, building wise, than most other giants of it's size. There's just so many PIECES! It is not difficult to build, however, just tedious at times.

Hehe
Sounds great, I live in sweden and we have a long, long winter that drives me crazy. :(
I sure have the time needed for a longer building project but I do have some trouble choosing between SIG's Spacewalker and Greatplanes Giant Extra 300.
It looks like I'm going for the Spacewalker becouse I have flown a Hacker CAP 232 and A Kyosho Sukhoi 31, both are really nice to fly but I dont have the last edge of flying experience needed to control those airplane.
Thanks for the answer.

ZeroCool.
I've got one. with a Quadra 52 weighs 23lbs flys great. I'm still nervous with it due to the time and cost of building. It's also my first big airplane. I mostly fly it when I can get together with a friend that has build flown and sold at least 3 of them. last time out I landed it. I'm mostly flying 40 size glow airplanes, so it is very different. I'd post a pic of mine but I don't have a digital camera.
