Great Planes SpaceWalker ARF - GPMA1300 - Manual (Page 3)

3. Use an R/C radio system that is in first-class condition,
and a correctly sized engine throughout the building
process.
4. You must properly install the R/C radio system and other
components so that the model operates correctly on the
ground and in the air.
5. You must test the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating and you must
make certain that the model has remained structurally
sound. Be sure to check clevises or other connectors often
and replace them if they show signs of wear or fatigue.
Remember: Take your time and follow directions to end
up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
Please inspect all parts carefully before starting to build!

Engine Selection
There are several engines that will work well in your
SpaceWalker ARF. We recommend a hot 2-stroke such
as an O.S.
® .61FX or SuperTigre ™ G61. For unsurpassed
power and realistic sound, an O.S. FS-70 or FS-90
4-stroke can’t be beat.
