Martin Aeronautics MA-21 Drone MK. 1

Auto Credit Based on MrCOPTY's [31/50 • 01/04/2025] UAV Challenge

This is my second military drone I’ve built so far, heavily inspired by the MQ-9 Reaper Drone. Seems to be a fairly popular design for drones, the pusher prop, long wing, narrow body design, so I decided to go with it. It’s a pretty neat little aircraft, nothing extraordinary, but it gets the job done.
The camera module was taken from BogdanX’s drone, it works very well. Anyways, that’s my submission for the UAV challenge, hope y’all enjoy.

Armament
4x AGM-65 Maverick

Controls
1=Nav Lights
VTOL=Flaps
G=LandingGear

Note: It’s recommended to takeoff with some flaps extended as the underbelly rudder makes it somewhat difficult to lift off. The flaps are fairly effective so one notch is all that’s required.
