I covered mine with corbon vinyl:

Now I'm busy fitting it all in APM1 and FPV.

So I am trying to gather the equipment needed for my X8 and wanted to find out what the recommended Motor, ESC, and Prop would be for a 3S setup???
Thanks!

@Ace, how much did the vinyl add in weight?

Mine is on order. Has anyone fitted retract gear/retract nose skid ? if so what did you fit and how did it go ?

I did see on rcgroups a guiy made a dolly for take off. I intyent to cover mine in 3m carbon vinyl any feedback on this is it a good or bad idea ?

 

I think that this airframe opens up a new challenge for drones. Longest X8 auto flight. Take off, cruise and landing hehe !!

 

I intend to run mine with an fpv camera and the camera tracking code set with an HD hero mounted in the nose with pan and tilt. I want to mees with the code a bit to create a new script element that will allow camera tracking of the active waypoint :-)

Thanks in advance.

not yet still working on missing parts and carbon strips in the wings

Just received mine in the mail and I have to say there are some things I am less then impressed about:

-I ordered black EPO foam. NOT white EPO foam RESPRAYED BLACK.

-The packaging could be better. This would avoid slight damage to the tips of the wings at the trailing edges.

- Fit could be a hell of a lot better. I am going to have to trim a fair few bits of foam so the fuselage fits together.


Having said all that, I am looking forward to the build immensely.
