RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Well it's been a while since I checked in. The predator model I bought came from www.generalhobby.com. It was a tealish camo color, seemed to be similar to the nitoplanes model. IT CAME WITH 2 LEFT WINGS! ARG Additionally, there were a variety other problems with the model (including a misformed fiberglass cowling) Anyway I sent it back and the guy is supposed to be sending me a different predator model by a different manufacturer, hopefully it comes with one wing for each side :)

[quote]ORIGINAL: papajeff Your proposed setup looks good to me as long as you expect your Predator to end up with a flying weight around 40oz.. [/quote] Eventually I would like to be able to put a small camera in it, such as the flycamone3 or something like that, would you suggest a slightly more powerful motor for example http://www.nitroplanes.com/98p-mars-bl3732-1100kv-bl30a-combo.html

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B
Hello everyone, I am building RQ-1 as my first 'big' R/C aircraft ( I know, I know, not a trainer... I'll deal with it) So I just want to run my list of components past the experts to see if they are good enough: I am going to use a Spectrum DX6i controller Reciever: OrangeRx R610 Servos: T-Pro MG90S Motor: Gens ACE Mars (960KV, 200W) w/ 20A ESC Combo Battery: Gens ACE 2200 mAh Prop: EMP 9*3.8SF How does that look?
