Beautiful plane, i hope there is no mud on your flying field. I am waiting for the monsoon to go away so that i can take my new easy glider out.

Termed FPV/UAV, be advised about its flight characteristics. It is not a very stable platform and has a nasty tendency to tip stall at high banking.
Nice to scare people... stunner look.

Any body bought the MQ-9 Reaper ? Its another fabulous plan for scale characteristics

Sir the box it comes in is really small for its size. i have lots of boxes stacked up and it was somewhere in buried. anyways was not able to start the build today cuz i am down with high fever.

Thx Sir. And there is lot of mud on our field because of early monsoon. infact we are not able to reach our ground because of all the mud. hope the situation changes soon.
