Title: Is the Skywalker X6 any good
Post by: beesleyboy on January 06, 2017, 08:44:51 PM
I have one unbuilt in the loft, wondering if I need another bird.

I also have one sitting in the loft, tried to sell it a few times with no success!

My friend built one but it only flew a few times, was plagued with electronic issues (nothing to do with the frame mind) so he gave up and bought a talon instead! :P

I think they flew quite well though, but they are pretty big!

I have one, flies nicely, but not as good endurance as MT and a pain to launch.

Flies nicely at speed, I had a few unwanted spirals of death when bank turning too hard without enough power on... recovered from them though.

One of the best things about it is the precut holes for gear in the wings.

As long as you give it enough power, it's not too bad to launch, it's just the size and shape of the thing makes it a bit awkward to frisbee launch.

I personally did the javelin launch method (the standard launch for regular planes) with full beans and had no issues.

glides very well with very little waggle, in fact I can't even remember mine wagging at all.

Here's a vid of someone else flying a X6

Thanks guy's, looks like it fly's OK. I will check out the build video Steve,thanks.
I already have a Zephyr II wing, and a big Skywalker, but this one is appealing for the detachable wings, I could fit it in a bag and go out with it on my bicycle.
