Skywalker is now in a new version made of EPO foam. Much stronger foam.

Length: 1180mm
Wingspan: 1680mm
Wing Area¡G35.5dm2
Wing Loading¡G36.6

Recommendation
4 x 9g Servo
3S1P 11.1V 2200mAH-5000mAH
Motor: 2215-1200KV or 2815-900KV
Propeller: APC-9045E 9060E

I think this platform could be the replacement for the smaller Easystar if it's possible. What do you think?

Skywalker is now in stock! This is not the EPS foam, this is the new EPO version - much stronger foam.

ANy flight reports? If they can bend the wing that much, how stiff is the wing on the Ver 2?

I just checked on the site, still says not in stock. I would love to purchase one of these!
I am in the middle of building a CNC machine to build my own plane designs, but I would much rather skip that step at this time just to get flying again.

Hooks, let me know.

Any US source for the Skywalker so there would not be 50.00 shipping for a 100.00 plane?

@Hein, I use a 5Ah 4S battery, and typically fly for a bit over an hour, but I tend to fly pretty gently

Fantastic Andrew - would you say one could fit 2 x 5mAh and push it to 90 minutes plus?

Comment by Hein du Plessis on August 3, 2011 at 11:34pm

I found some data on rcgroups:

3000mAh: 30 minutes
6000mAh: 50 minutes
10000mAh: 80 minutes break even
12000mAh: 80 minutes no more benefits
14000mAh: 75 minutes starts descending
