A Wing for everyone
First of all lets be sure about one thing: The S800 Sky Shadow is surely not the best of all wings to get. But it is cheap! This makes it a good wing to start off with. Every part is available as a spare and stays at a low price. If you break something, no worries. It’s repairable … mostly.
We’ve had the S800 Sky Shadow in the air for over a year now. And to be honest: this is one of the first versions that came out.
Cruiser or racer?
Both will do fine here. No matter if you put a 3s3000 into the S800 Sky Shadow and cruise the area or prefer to race it with 4s lipos: it will do! Sometimes it’s a bit nervous on turbulent winds but it can be calm as a lamb too.
It’s up to you how you want it to be!
More Data?
As our S800 has died along the time we only have to offer a bunch of videos and the latest DIFFs from iNav v1.9.1

The Sky Shadow comes at a intriging price while being a good wing! We will unbox it and show what you get for your bucks.
This bird is well molded and looks awesome. If only the weather would be better, then we could make it fly 🙂

S800 Sky Shadow flight footage
s800 Sky shadow flight footage - After having fried the FC for inav, we managed to mount the camera on the wing and capture nice footage. More
No iNav this time!
After having configured iNav on a NAZE everything was ready to be testet in the field. Sadly the NAZE fried somehow and didn't accept any inputs via SBUS although everything was ok! We'll get back to iNav later with a better FC - this could take a while because China celebrates the year of the Roster! 🙂
Footage with 3s and 4s
Thanks to Zahnelf for lending his Xiaomi Yi to me! I placed in the predesigned compartment in the nose of the Sky Shadow.
With no FC or stabilisation onboard, I went back to the good old delta-mixing. Also, there was no FPV this time. I didn't have the time to make it reliable by now. But thats up for next 🙂

S800 Sky Shadow - Installing a Buzzer to iNav
S800 Sky Shadow Installing a Buzzer to iNav // Best in FullHD (1080p) If you plan to use a buzzer on your plane, then here is how to embed it smoothly into the fuselage.
I love the black foam of the sky shadow. And I prefer it to stay as clean as possible. But there has to be a buzzer on the wing so it stays easy to find and hear it. Have a look on how I did it!

S800 Sky Shadow - installing ws2812 LEDS for iNav

LEDS are awesome!
================
As seen in one of my former videos, the sky shadow rocks with some LEDs on the back! It's really awesome. I figured the used LEDs to be lame on the long therm, so I decided to make it even better. The only thing that really kicks A$$ then is WS2812 programable LEDs connnected to iNav!

S800 Sky Shadow - News, Props and Greetings
Reptile S800 Sky Shadow - News, Props and Greetings - What can you expect when flying in 29kph wind with a S800 Sky Shadow? Which Prop is a Blast? All this and a ruff landing!
PaiRaN and Simon have lured on a weather slot which then turned out to be a tiny gusty disaster. But the S800 Sky Shadow did get some time in the air though. But as the wind was to much for the wing there was no chance to try out iNav V1.6.1 in full. And only flying it in PASSTHR won't count, right! So we need better weather to check out iNav on the S800 in full !
We can only advise to try out the APC 6055" prop on a 2205 brushless motor. The power is awesome and really kicks a$$ ! Keep an eye on your ESC though!
Thank you all for so many subscriptions ... you guys really encourage us to keep the stuff coming !

S800 Sky Shadow sunset test flight
Reptile S800 Sky Shadow sunset test flight - Simon and Pairan are heading out on with the Sky Shadow and iNav. Together they have a superb time until the sun sets.
Currently all is about to get the sky shadow dialed in with iNav. Equipped with a 3s2200 25c lipo the sky shadow climbs up and proves its capability of flying more distance than speed with a minimal setup.
While cruising into the sun, the Matebox crew sends a big shout out to a bunch of subscribers, which joined in 03/2017 ! You guys make this channel great! Thanks a lot!
