Mr.RC-Cam 129 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Star Stryker RCX4 There was a small booth at the CES 2010 show that had a big crowd around it. The fellow there was demonstrating a quad model that had a X-wing style body on it. It was very stable and flew well. I went back to the booth later in the day (thankfully with a smaller crowd) and captured a video that shows it flying around. Video from CES 2010: http://www.vimeo.com/8658029 It is really cool. But the suggested $400 retail price was way over the top. The show special was $300. I ordered one just to check it out. It is a complete RTF (charge and fly), with a fancy aluminum case like you get with high end JR R/C systems. Now that I'm back home I've been able to do some research. I could be wrong, but it looks like it is the same as the new Walkera X-Wing that retails for about $240 (but can be bought from China sources for less). Once I get it I will be able to confirm if it is the same model. I also discovered that replacement parts are a bit expensive for the Star Stryker. I also came across a blog about the Star Stryker: Click for Blog. Edited August 31, 2015 by Mr.RC-Cam fixed broken link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kilrah 2 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Cool, kind of a jumpjet but that gets really useable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.RC-Cam 129 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I received the Star Stryker today. It is definitely a Walkera X-Wing. So I paid way too much for this re-badged version. My initial reaction from a quick living room flight is that it is about as stable as a Chinese made coaxial R/C heli. Build quality is (how do I put this delicately) very light weight. I get nervous picking it up because it feels a bit fragile. The aluminum case it shipped in is very nice. So, I just tell myself that I paid $29 for the model and $300 for the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
