Remote-controlled airplane Space Walker II Revolution 20-30cc ARF SEAGULL Models

A semi-scale radio-controlled thermal airplane

The Space Walker II Revolution 20-30cc ARF from Seagull Models is aimed at hobbyists looking for a large radio-controlled airplane combining a particularly neat presentation, traditional construction, and accessible flight behavior.

With its 2.10m wingspan, this model captures the distinctive look of the Space Walker II and offers a silhouette that immediately evokes light aviation.

Its yellow and black decoration enhances its semi-scale appearance and provides excellent visibility in flight.

Here, I find an interesting philosophy for a thermal RC airplane in this category: the model is spectacular enough to attract attention at the field, while maintaining a design intended to be enjoyable to fly.

The Space Walker II Revolution is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to move up to a large radio-controlled airplane without directly transitioning to an extremely specialized machine.

A balsa and plywood fuselage designed for modeling

Construction is one of the strong points of this Space Walker II Revolution. The fuselage uses high-quality balsa and plywood, with laser-cut precision components.

This design results in a structure that is both lightweight and sufficiently strong to withstand the demands of a 20 to 30cc engine.

The fuselage comes assembled and covered in factory-applied film. The tail surfaces and the two half-wings are also prepared, significantly reducing the time needed before being able to start installing the radio equipment and engine.

However, the ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) level means that this model is not a plane ready to fly immediately.

You will need to install the engine, servos, radio, and various equipment necessary for the model to function.

A factory-applied finish

The Space Walker II Revolution benefits from a particularly interesting finish for an airplane of this size.

The fuselage is covered with Oracover film, while the engine cowl and wheel fairings are made of fiberglass and painted at the factory.

This finish results in a clean look right from assembly, while still allowing the hobbyist to add details later to enhance the semi-scale appearance.

A 20 to 30cc RC airplane

The range of engine options is another advantage of this model. The Space Walker II Revolution is designed to accommodate a 20 to 30cc thermal engine.

This range allows the hobbyist to choose the engine based on desired performance, installation weight, and flying style.

For a 20cc radio-controlled thermal airplane, the fuselage may offer a behavior more oriented towards realistic flight and leisurely flying.

A larger engine, up to 30cc, will provide more power reserves.

Naturally, the propeller, muffler, and various accessories should be selected based on the actual engine installed.

Electric power option also available

Although this version is particularly suited for a 20-30cc thermal RC airplane, the design of the Space Walker II Revolution also allows for an equivalent electric power setup.

An electric conversion mount is included with the model.

This option is appealing for hobbyists who want to enjoy a large semi-scale model while benefiting from electric propulsion advantages: easy starting, no fuel, and reduced maintenance.

The choice between thermal and electric will mainly depend on the pilot's preferences and existing equipment.

A two-piece wing for easy transport

With its 2.10m wingspan, the Space Walker II Revolution is a truly large model. The two-piece wing system provides a very practical advantage in daily use.

The two half-wings are designed to be assembled at the field, making it easier to transport and store the model.

This design is particularly useful when transporting the airplane in a car before reaching the flying field.

The wing has a sturdy main structure and integrates with a fuselage designed to withstand the stresses associated with this type of airplane.

A sturdy fixed landing gear for modeling fields

The fixed landing gear made of duraluminum directly contributes to the practical nature of the Space Walker II Revolution.

Unlike a model with retractable landing gear, the fixed gear here prioritizes simplicity, robustness, and ease of use.

The factory-painted wheel fairings further enhance the semi-scale appearance of the airplane.

This design perfectly matches the philosophy of the model: to offer a large RC plane that is aesthetic and pleasant to use, without multiplying complex systems.

A stable and enjoyable radio-controlled plane to pilot

The Space Walker II Revolution is not only designed to look beautiful on the ground. Its design also aims to offer accessible flying behavior.

The model is described as having stable and healthy behavior, with the ability to perform gentle aerobatic maneuvers.

It can therefore be suitable for a pilot who already has experience with radio-controlled planes and wants to transition to a larger and more spectacular aircraft.

Its flight envelope leans more towards realistic flying, leisurely flights, and semi-scale flying rather than extreme 3D aerobatics.

A model for progression after a trainer plane

The Space Walker II Revolution can be a logical progression after a first training RC plane.

Its size, weight, and power system obviously require sufficient piloting experience and adherence to safety rules applicable to larger models.

Therefore, I would recommend it more to a modeler who has already mastered the basics of piloting rather than a complete beginner looking for their very first radio-controlled plane.

On the other hand, it offers an experience much closer to piloting a large semi-scale RC plane, with particularly interesting presence in flight.

An ideal base for creating a semi-scale model

The Space Walker II Revolution also has interesting potential for customization enthusiasts.

The already finished airframe allows for quickly having a clean base, while the characteristic silhouette of the Space Walker lends itself to adding various details.

The modeler can work on aspects like the cockpit and add certain finishing elements to enhance the semi-scale appearance.

This possibility gives the model an additional dimension: it can be used as it comes out of the box or serve as a base for a more ambitious customization project.

A large 2.10 m airframe

With a wingspan of 2,100 mm, the Space Walker II Revolution clearly belongs to the category of large radio-controlled planes.

Its length reaches 1,490 mm and its wing area is approximately 70 dm². The announced flying weight is around 5 kg.

What is needed to complete the Space Walker II Revolution?

The ARF kit comes with a large part of the airframe already assembled and covered, but several components are still required.

To complete a full model, it is necessary to plan for:

• a 20 to 30 cm³ engine, or an equivalent electric power system;
• a programmable radio and its receiver;
• 6 servos suitable for the size and constraints of the model;
• a propeller matching the chosen power system;
• power supply for the receiver and servos;
• accessories needed for installing the power system.

The kit includes the assembled and covered fuselage, the two wing halves, the tail surfaces, the fiberglass engine cowl, wheel fairings, duraluminium landing gear, hardware and control accessories, as well as components needed for electric conversion.

Why choose this Seagull Models RC plane?
