Skywalker SMART 996mm Wingspan EPO FPV Racing Wing RC Airplane Kit


FPV wing racing is a growing quickly and has the peotential of being bigger than mini quad racing due to the facts that wings are faster than miniquads and easier to see in a race. Being easier to see in a race allows spectators to feel more involved while watching an event. 
This potential has been noticed by Skywaker and now Skywalker is throwing in their own design ideas with Skywalker Smart. Skywalker Smart is a dual motor design that is focused on serious power, allowing the user to climb to speed over 140kph. Featuring a 996mm wingspan, Skywalker Smart is large enough to get all your gear in the air but small enough to ensure lightning fast speeds with quick and agile air manuevers. Skywalker Smart can have several different methods of take off with two most common methods of take off being hand tossed or vertical launch. Skywalker Smart FPV Racing Wing doesn’t stray to far away from the mini quad racing scene and if your familiar with mini quads you’ll feel right at home with this built. 
The motors, escs, fpv gear ,and flight contollers are all the same specs that you find in your typical mini quad build. Recommended motors are 2206 2300kv with 35a ESC combinations. For awesome flight controller preformace with the much need PWM out puts servo and motor connection we recommend X-Racer F4 flight controller.

KL-EX90 The Brushless Micro Racer Launched

Soon after the release of X-Racer X-1, we now have a new micro racer, the X-Racer KL-EX90
The KL-EX90 is a 2" propeller 90 class airframe built for micro class FPV racing. 
All-up-weight is just 106 grams with a 2S 550mAh lipo battery. Because it is so small in size and so light in weight that under 250g, you do not need to register with FAA if you are from the United States to fly the KL-EX90.

Equipped with the reputable Gemfan 2035BN propellers, Flycolor RAPTOR S-Tower ( set of F3 Flight Controller and 4-in-1 ESC), Dragonfly MC1105 7500KV motors, Runcam Micro Swift camera, and built-in OSD, all make the KL-EX90 perfect for both LOS (Line of Sight) and FPV (First Person View) players.
Features:
  • Small in size and light in weight. All-up-weight is 106 grams only with a 2S 550mAh lipo battery. Do not require the hassles of getting it registered with the FAA if you are from the United States.
  • Excellent power with just a 2S battery, even more powerful with 3S. It gives you very high speed, very precise and rail-like handling.
  • Use Runcam Micro Swift, the worlds smallest and lightest CCD professional camera. It has the same performance to reputable Runcam Swift and Swift Mini.
  • The reputable Flycolor RAPTOR S-Tower of F3 FC and 4-in-1 BLHeli_S 2-3S ESC gives you extremely good stability and flight performance.
  • Equipped with powerful micro Dragonfly MC1105 brushless motors. Works great with Gemfan BN2035 propellers and Flycolor RAPTOR S-Tower.

  • The flight controller is with built-in OSD.

All in One BetaflightF3 Flight Controller



BetaflightF3 is the flight controller designed to use every possible feature of Betaflight. More than the last half year has been spent by team FPV Model and Betaflight  in development. Boris B has worked with us to go over features and design aspects to help give us insight into what betaflight users want/need. 
This board features a 3A power draw giving users extra room for added attachments through uart ports. The six layer PCB is a more expensive design approach but was needed to give the ability to have a PDB that was capable of having wiring pads on both the top and bottom of the board. By using the six layer design we were able to increase the size of the pads and work around all the components all the while giving esc connections in the corners of the board rather than bunching all connections on either the top OR the bottom. Featuring a fully functioning OSD that can be configured in Betaflight this board will make configuring your OSD a breeze.

The team at betaflight have been hard at work developing DSHOT and this board is also compatible with the latest release. But we didn’t stop there, this board also features a micro adapter to accept TF cards for those of you that like to follow up your flights with reviewing black box logging...we think we know of at least one guy that will like that.
