Hello All,

Recently acquired a Spacewalker II and have been coming up short trying to find any sort of pilot's operating handbook information online as a guiding document.

I understand it is up to the builder to write this document if they so choose, but unfortunately I believe it has been lost with previous owners. I was able to get in contact with the owner and he said anything he had with the aircraft was sold with it.

I've reached out to Warner without luck, Serenity's website is not active, the Yahoo group is not active, and most of the other hints of info I've found on forums lead to dead ends... Don't want to give up which is why I am posting here.

Does anyone have information like this or know of any builders/owners who might?

My next step is trying to find possible owners based on the FAA Registry...

Thanks for any insights or info you can share,
John

You might end having to develop all the numbers yourself, as if this were a newly-completed aircraft. This could be pretty fun, and will help you get used to your new airplane. FAA Advisory Circular AC-90-89B ("Amateur-Built Aircraft and Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook") is a good guide.

I've written a template for a Pilot's Handbook for the Bowers Fly Baby, a similar aircraft. Here's a PDF version:

I've also put it online as a Word document if you want to use it as a template for your own document

Ron, I just got through reading this thread, I do not have an airplene as of yet, just renting, so I don't have any input on this. But I want to say how much I appreciate you and all the great info you, as well as others, so willingly put out here for everyone. Truly what the EAA is all about.
Bob, that's my story and I'm stickin to it !

I bought a set on plans from Serenity late last year so they’re still a going concern, or were recently. I was able to contact them through their Facebook presence, you might try that. Good luck.

Hmmmmm.....looking for something a bit less Breezy? :D

I've liked the Spacewalker ever since I first saw it as a 1/4 scale model.

yep, my first exposure to it was on the cover of the RC mags of the time. Glen and Hazel’s hiz n herz along with the scale model. Love at first site.

Less Breezy? Certainly couldn’t do any more Breezy.

Hi GizmoR53 (John), I bought one of the two Warner Sportster demo planes at the LSA Expo in Sebring in 2019. There wasn't much to the POH for that plane but I could copy what I have and email it as I think the Sportster is an evolved design from the Spacewalker. I know Warner was in the process of being sold when I bought the plane. The demo pilot, Pat Bulger, had flown my plane for Warner since 2009 when it was built. He might be able to give you more info on the Spacewalker. His phone # is 781 864-9418. My email is shaynebryant@windstream.net. Hope this helps, Shane

Hi John,
The group you should belong to is Spacewalker@yahoogroups.com.
The principle plans owner (I think; things change sometimes) is Martin (Marty) Hone <aerobiz1@gmail.com>;
Please try that and let us know if you have any difficulty (been a while since I've been in the forum or contacted Marty)
Thanks,
John Bruesch
