The Boeing Phantom Eye is an autonomously controlled drone which is currently in the prototyping stages for the US Airforce. The Phantom Eye has very unique dihedrals making it one of the harder challenges i have tackled to get the moment just right without sacrificing looks. I also decided to include a "command station" like the real one would have which before takeoff should be detatched with group 2. Another unique quality to the Phantom Eye is that it takes off from a kart which should be detatched with group 1 around 150mph. This is the first challenge I Have ever entered and have been working on this build for the past week in order to get it just right. Thankyou everyone for the support, and @Rohan please take this one into consideration when you judge them. Until my next build goodluck to everyone and see yah next time!
