so my second skywalker is now finished and has at least 5 flights under its belt.

if you did not know my 1st skywalker (which was an xmas present itself, so was all the stuff inside) stalled during return to launch on FY21AP and smashed into a field. after 2 days searching we found some foam bits and a rubber-band under a style to a lay-by.

Conclusion-Stolen
conclusion-B******s

i started a can you keep an eye out thread and i have so say you were all GREAT thank you. sadly nothing was found. and then DPSDave told us that if you had home insurance we could claim on the house insurance. with in 1.5 weeks there was a check for £730 on our doorstep!!

so, things were ordered, the same week i ordered another mx2. i bet i had over 10 packages in a week 5 the next week

heres my final set up from front to tail ( bar a single cell for extra power for my keychain camera)

1x HD Key chain Camera, will make a film for next moths comp, one bellow of it on my rock crawler in the rain (it was in cling film)
1x-LongMax 20c 5000mHa 3 cell lipo-for flight
1x-LongMax 25c 2300mah 3 cell lipo-for video
1x FY21AP and AP117 and all its other bits (gps on one wing tip)
1x transmitter on wing tip with IBCrazy Vee
5x wing strengthening
4x savox HS-0255mg Servos all round
1x R149DP Receiver (i think)
2x Carbon Tail Strenghener
3.25x more 35mhz antenna.

just watched the last flight from it.

it turned round on RTL because i didnt know were it was due to the shadows on the ground but i forgot to power it up
pan right to see were we were it then pitched violently up and down, as in almost vertical to vertical, on an up movement it did 4 rolls, almost like it was doing a rolling harrier, it then enters a flat spin and that was the last photo
