I believe the placement of the antenna for you X8R receiver is suboptimal (seen at 1:13) The FrSky RX uses a pair of antenna as the receiver contains signal quality software that allows it to use which ever antenna it believes has the better signal. Ideally you want the antennas to be 90° to one another, one vertical and the other horizontal. This will allow the highest quality signal irrespective of aircraft orientation, or angle to the Tx. Other than that it's an excellent video, thanks!
I know I'm six years late but I'm an electronics student, I and other friends are trying to build a version like this for the final project. We'll be happy to know where you bought the package itself (we only need the plane without the components)

I seen some ppl using this plane with li ion for longer flight time. I wonder what motor and propeller you need for a slower speed/ longer flight. Thanks in advance for your replies peeps!
Hello, I love that build..is there a kit with all the components displayed in video?? I'm looking into buying a parrot disco, but this is much more interesting
The Skywalker X8 kit can be bought online. This will fly much, much longer than a Disco but be warned, the airframe is quite fragile and above 22 m/s airspeed there is a large risk of the wings fluttering and the airframe failing in flight. I would recommend the Believer 1960 as a better option now.
@@LinnAerospace ...I haven't seen that,is that an alternative with autonomous flight like the disco? Edit; just looked the plane, very nice and comes complete, at a very high price...$5500
I just build my X8 Skywalker and I'm in the processes of tuning it but I have a problem that I can not fix and I'm hopping you can help me. First when I make the turns it takes a long time to level again and when I put it on RTH when it makes the turn to return home it goes in to a dive and I have to take control so it will not crash. Any Idea what kind of setting I have to put in to the Ardupilot ? I'm using a pixhawk. What are your settings? I have also used auto-tune but no success. Thank you for your time!!!!
new subscriber: need a bit if help, which glue should i use to stick the orange plastic wing joiners to the epo on the X8, and 2ndly where can i get such nylon locking system for the fuselage as youre using here in the video.
We have used epoxy, but the most important part is to sand the contact surfaces of the plastic and foam to allow for better adhesion. And the nylon thumb screws and threaded inserts can be found on McMaster Carr.
@@LinnAerospace thanks for the reply bro, I will definitely sand the foam a better for proper adhesion but cannot buy epoxy in my country I was advised to buy E6000 glue hope that works and so have a bottle of Gorilla glue original which I am not too sure about...will look for the nylon thumb screws ..thanks
Excellent un-assuming presentations, well worth watching all the clips presented. Wish all presenters on You Tube used your clips for a guide.Indy

for the hatch, i would recommend unsing small magnets, it's super practical and doesn't disturb the signal during long range flights ;p
Excelente video, me podrias compartir el diseño de tu electronica y como configurar la emisora con la aeronave... gracias
Great job
Nice presentation
Excelente tutorial

Good afternoon, beautiful model, what engine and what propeller it has, thank you
10:40 is a good caution actually i didn't aware of it.
Thanks.
Best Regards
It's always better to use a 'female' connector for the supply side of an electrical circuit for precisely this reason.
@@LoudRC wow this is very old, cannot recall i comment this ^^ hehe
Anyway, thank for the tip.
How can i get those orange clips you have on the fuselage and wing? Thanks

hi good video but does the skywalker come pnp or bnf if not can you show a comeplete build out of the box it would be gratefull
so the ailerons work backwards compared to a V tail or something, i just pre flight checked and
ailerons move different ways,
What glue did you use to put orange wing joiners on
Good job man !! I would like to know if you assemble one for me and send it to Brazil and how much?
Hi, I am curious and wondering which Telemetry radio you are receiving with your 2 antennas, please?

Can you help me with the x8 vtol wire connections with the flight controller?
Havent seen a telemetry module like that one. Could you put up a link to it. It looks alot nicer than the one I have. Go EMS!
+Jace Ford that looks like an rfd900, they're supposed to get you about 40km

YOU CAN HELP ME I HAVE A AIRCRAFT EQUAL TO YOURSELF BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ENGINE TO USE, WHAT ENGINE HAS YOUR AIRCRAFT
Do you have a guide on retracting s110 lense? Thanks
Please give us the list of your parts used
man 20000 mha is a lot ! how much flight time do you get with it ?
Is the belly cam FPV cam? Or only for aerial mapping, facing down?
The belly camera can be configured to provide real-time video or just mapping imagery.
Can you please tell me where I can buy it?
Sir how to connect the camera ,?
how much flight time with 20.000mAh?
How did you configure the x8 in mission planner.?
We do all configuration of the aircraft through Mission Planner. With the Autotune feature, getting the plane set up is quite easy now.
hi if you send me firmware for this plane i am beggener thanks
just cut this out
