FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
When flying your Skywalker X8, please keep in mind these manufacturer guidelines. As everything,
there are exceptions to the rule but these are good points to start with.
Please note that you should, control the Skywalker X8 flight speed within 85 km/H.
If you need a high speed flight you should strengthen wings, otherwise the wings support structure
may fail. Try to keep the Skywalker X8 within 3200 grams. If your build exceeds the 3200 gram
limit, you should strengthen the wings.
If there are technical problems or suggestions, please email or consult your local dealer or distributor
that you purchased your model from.
If you have any questions about this document or anything I can help you with, please email

AFTER BUILD
Skywalker suggests you use brand name quality propeller such as CAM or APC. The design of the Skywalker X8
makes it easy to break down and carry to a field, or store in a smaller space.
CENTER OF GRAVITY
The position of the center of gravity for the Skywalker X8 is 440 millimeters away from the nose, a 5 millimeter
correction either forward or backwards from this point may be needed. The design of the Skywalker X8 puts the
Center of Gravity point and the rear edge of the hand hold slots on the bottom of the model, so measuring is not
needed.
