Hmm, $139 vs the $77 V6 Skywalker from HK..... :/ Decisions....
Is this the new skywalker http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1790066 ??
Looks a lot like the rendered image above. The loss of VTX shelf is bad, but the stiffer tail will be welcome. The modular plastic connectors also look good, provided they are strong enough
Yes that is cool. We will just have to wait and see the new goodies coming to us.
I'm loving the modular style that they are using though. Being able to pack it into a duffel bag with the other equipment is quite attractive.
Indeed it does, while also seemingly removing the "VTX shelf" feature.
Stefan, that is hilarious, and it actually makes sense from a functional point of view. A tried and true shape to strike the ground with!
Kamu,
Your link is interesting. The Elevator and rudder are a bit curious. This design appears to limit the rudder area. Why not use a T-tail?
A new Skywalker skywalker coming soon, too: http://www.skywalker-model.com/main/20084817574589/Page/20072141349...
Hahahahaha awesome
I can see where they got the inspiration for the X-6 from...
