Description:
Here is a real special aircraft! This ARF RQ-1 Predator B Spy Plane is powered by an brushless electric motor of the class 400 that replicates real famous NASA Spy Plane. Easy and quick to build, needs 4 servos and a Brushless speed controller. The very light frame employs two different types of extruded polystyrene and is covered with the mimetic camouflage films. The kit includes a set of super light wheels. It is not just a great park flyer but just a true electric scale model able to flight on the normal fields. The super detailed instructions permit to everybody with some building experience to afford this construction. Flying characteristics are excellent. Support Thread As featured on the May 2007 issue of Backyard Flyer "What could be a cooler than an RC scale model of an unmanned aerial vehical? The new, easy-to-build Electric Predator B UAV from Nitro Models flies and looks great. It’s really an electric thermal glider disguised as a spy plane. It’s constructed of built-up balsa and has military camouflage covering. Any intermediate or advance pilot will be completely delighted with it."

The performance is just perfect for me as I tend to fly the Predator scale-like for the most part. It’s also fun to fly it like a powered glider, high enough to become a speck (never a problem with the range of the AR6100 2.4) then motor off and thermal around for 10 min. or so……then do it again. With the prop size, I found that anything larger than a 9" will certainly invite lots of prop strikes on take-offs as well as landings. Let me know what you decide to do and photos are welcomed."
