Yet another Skywalker build

[FPVSteve]

That really does look nice and stable, they look like one of "the" planes to have at the moment, nice.

Hi electricmick,

Nice post, Ive also been building a Sky Walker for fpv, and been following your posted photos with interest. I've been considering the FY20A more for the fails safe aspects of return to base than the stabilization's. The only thing thats putting me off is the cost, would you say this is an essential to protect the investment in the plane?

I really like the FY20A and think that it gives great stabilisation but it does not do return to base, that is the FY21AP with full stabilisation and autopilot including RTB. I already have a RTH function on my OSD Pro so did not need anything more than the stabilisation function. IMHO it is the best value for money out there at the moment but I am sure there will be better and cheaper in time.

I too have just finished a skywalker with fy20a installed and love it, My eagle tree kit has yet to arrive but the test flights without have been fine, In addion im pleased i installed a Ubic since my first ESC litteraly exploded mid air but with the FY20a it was a breeze to glide back in even with smoke coming out the plane. Have upgraded to a 60A opto isolated ESC outside the plan now for safety.

Cant wait for the wind to stop.

your build is about 2 months ahead of mine and almost identical.

best regards

cant get the Skywalker to stop smelling burnt, any suggestions other than cutting the scorched bits out?
