*** I always seemed to get not much roll from using the ailerons when flying and wondered how that could be? It seems the aileron servos may be too weak at flying speed.
Therefore the use of the rudder (even as small as it is) is necessary to turn the Reaper until I change the servos. (Difficult chore since wires are so long, with amps too.)
My surprise landing is a is a case of no choice but to use rudder and you’ll see the result.
The Reaper Mq-9 Plane is really neat to see up close, but is very hard to see in the air due to it’s STEALTH design. That is as it should be.
Originally it came with an aluminum tube wing spar which bent and stayed bent. The MFG began replacing soon after that with a carbon fiber one so wings won’t bend now. The airborne and head cameras are Sony ASV 30’s.
Thanks for watching,
Dave Herbert.
