This is in celebration of 1 year on the SP site!
My 1:1 scale replica of the General Atomics MQ-1B Predator drone. I'm quite happy with it, and it was very fun to build. It doesn't fly that well, but it's airworthy (instructions below).
The General Atomics MQ-1B Predator is a Reconnaissance/light attack drone developed by General Atomics Aeronautical systems.
I would like to thank the following users for helping me make this:
Dovahkiin420- for fixing the landing gear
Komuhachi- almost all scaled parts were made by him
Thank you!!!
1:1 features:
Built in almost 1:1 scale
Working & moving camera
Custom landing gear
Tons of small details
Lights (navigational & landing lights)
Controls:
Roll- Roll
Pitch-Pitch
Yaw- slight yaw / wheel steering / camera left & right
Throttle- throttle
VTOL- /
Trim- camera up & down
Gear- gear
Ag1- navigational lights & landing lights
Flying instructions:
Takeoff is pretty easy
Pitch isn't that good, so consider that when flying
Landing is a bit difficult, I find it's best to lightly touch down and retract gear (rear stabilizers protect the prop).
Enjoy!
