There are many videos of Skywalker series in Youtube, including Skywalker 1680, Skywalker 1720, Skywalker 1800, Skywalker 1880, Skywalker 1900. There are still some customer misunderstood the model of Skywalker, therefore I think this is good platform to figure out and understand these aircrafts clearly.
With reference to aerodynamics and flight mechanics, it is a best rudimentary model for FPV because its fuselage has smooth appearance, reasonable structure and convenient operation.
Overlooking the blue planet from FPV, Skywalker will take you through the vast sea of clouds and inspire infinite imagination.
Next, I will talk about these aircrafts to you under below. I hope this will give great assistance to understand Skywalker series FPV aircrafts.(You could see details in our company's website)
Skywalker 1680:It is adopted new improvement that has strong and durable EPO material with high density, module installation. The wing connection is made by plastic module and rubber band makes flying easier, faster, safer.

Skywalker 1720: Skywalker, the global classic and special-purpose FPV aerial vehicle, has been new upgrading. It has high efficiency with T-tail fin, strong aerodynamic performance.
The horizontal stab is on the top of airflow to keep away from fuselage’s interference and increase its stability. It has big wingspan, heavy load, stable flying, large interior space to provide special position to Yuntai and image transmission.

1800 version is very difficult to found.
1880 and 1900 version are missing I think. Except foamy version, there is 2 tails : horizontal and T tail but T-tail come from new T-tail or Reverse T-tail.
I have 1680 and 1720 revolution. Wing of 1680 seems smaller than 1720. Thickness of 1680 is also reduce.
Thank you to the skywalker company for designing the best UAV/FPV platform.
My first UAV was the 1880 skywalker horizontal tail. Second was the 1880 T tail also I have X8 skywalker.
The T tail unfortunately not quite durable compare to the horizontal tail. Last time I crashed the T tail into tree branches and the elevator broke off. I glued it back but the alignment just off to one side it never fly straight again :-D Meanwhile my horizontal tail skywalker last time did crahsed many times but the elevator still okay.
