"Jesse Anglin of Hendersonville, North Carolina, USA, designed a number of prize winning aircraft: the J-3 Kitten won Best New Design at the 1983 Sun 'n Fun Fly-in at Lakeland, Florida, and at the EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the J-4 Sportster won a Grand Champion Prize in 1984 and the J-6 Karatoo won the Outstanding New Design award in 1985.
In 1986 he designed the single-seat Spacewalker that reproduced the classic configuration (low-wing, open-cockpit tail dragger) of the Ryan monoplanes of the late 1930s but constructed of modern materials and powered by modern engines. The aircraft had fabric covered wooden wings and a welded chrome-molybdenum steel tube fuselage and wire braced tail unit, also fabric covered. Powered by a 65 hp Continential flat-four engine the aircraft first flew in 1986 .
