STRIX Shadow Seeker X Night Wing
by STRIX

The STRIX Shadow Seeker X is a high-performance 870mm (34.25 in) EPP flying wing kit purpose-built out of the box for line-of-sight night flying, FPV freestyle, and high-speed cruising. Evolved from Mike Snyder's original "Mike Wing" design, the Shadow Seeker X refines the platform with a flat horizontal center section for flexible battery positioning and added cell protection, shortened wings to eliminate high-speed wing oscillation and increase roll rate, and recessed bottom channels engineered specifically for STRIX Noctuaglow COB LED strips. Constructed from durable hot-wire cut EPP foam with carbon fiber strip reinforcement and factory-hinged elevons, the Shadow Seeker X delivers exceptional impact resistance and stable flight handling without the need for time consuming laminate. 

Key Features

• Purpose-Built Night Flying Airframe: Recessed channels pre-cut into the bottom of the wing allow seamless, protected installation of STRIX Noctuaglow COB LED strips.

• Redesigned Horizontal Center Section (X-Series Upgrade): Provides expanded interior space for easy Center of Gravity (CG) adjustments, improved battery protection, and a plywood-reinforced battery tray.

• High-Speed Wing Optimization: Slightly shortened wingspan eliminates wing flutter and high-speed oscillation while retaining low-speed stability.

• Durable Hot-Wire Cut EPP Construction: Resilient EPP foam structure paired with pre-cut slots and included carbon fiber reinforcement strips for crash resistance.

• Pre-Hinged Elevons: Factory-cut and hinged elevons feature direct carbon fiber stiffeners connected to the control horns for responsive roll and pitch control.

• Electronics: When selected, it comes complete with an EMAX ECO II 2207 2400KV motor, STRIX Rocket 30A ESC, EMAX ES08MA II metal gear servos, and HQProp propellers.
