Arrow Reptile S800 Sky Shadow - FPV Racing Wing

Halloa people

time for another episode in my 'Airplanes Sunday' series This time it's not just a line-of-sight airplane though.. For of a FPV racer fixed-wings style You might be awere of the 'new' FPV racing thing with planes, which is mostly done with flying wings I think.. And that is what this EPP wing is..


Link to this plane: Reptile S800 Sky Shadow PNF


Link to the KIT version: Reptile S800 KIT version


This might actually be a slightly longer series then your used to from me.. I'll first fly the wing mostly stock, and that's With the included stabeliser / gyro / PDB.. Afterwards though, I plan to replace that combo with a Naze32 or F3 board.. and maybe a PDB with OSD and.... and GPS


For now though.. let's have a look what this wing looks like:
