S800 Sky Shadow FPV wing from Banggood (flight test and summary)

This S800 Sky Shadow wing from Banggood flies very nicely indeed and the stabilization system really does make a difference. Here's a summary of the pros and cons:

Pros:
- excellent flight characteristics
- tough EPP foam
- a good price (aka: cheap)
- PNF kit contains most stuff you'll need

Cons:
- ESC appears to be junk (I'm not the only one grizzling)
- servos are perhaps a little light for the job (gears)
- FPV transmitter was faulty out of the box
- the el-cheapo camera supplied is not worth using (I used the Runcam Eagle instead)
- the fit of the molded foam parts could be better
- the build does require quite a bit of soldering and extra wire and you'll need tools like a drill (2mm), sandpaper, glue and more tools than normally required for a PNF.
- instructions could be a lot better.

Bottom line:
This little wing really honks on 4S and I'm sure that once I put a decent ESC in it that I'll be flying it a lot. Would I buy the PNF version?

Maybe.

You do get a hell of a lot of stuff for the $30 more than you pay for the basic airframe -- although the quality of these parts is questionable.

Go check out the PNF version then look at the ARF version and decide for yourself which would represent better value to you.
