This is the first time I make a glider like model aircraft. I build and make the plans for this MQ-9 Reaper because there are many request for this UAV drone and it looks cool with all bombs and missiles it can carries. Learning from many previous model on Youtube videos, I decided to make the size of it with 2500mm wingspan, to give lighter wing loading. I enlarge the wing area almost doubled also made the stabilizers a bit bigger then the scale for maintaining stabilization. Surprisingly it take off without any issue and fly very stable and floating.
