SPE Retina

"Reciever of light, creator of the image."

Huh. This is unusual for me to build.

A light, slow moving aircraft, the Retina is tailored for filming. Equipped with three specialized cameras, it is adept at shooting stable video, while still moving at a fairly slow pace. This is due to its built-in gyroscope, which allows it to stabilize itself at any given moment with ease.

Controls:
Trim: Trim
Activator 1: gyro
Activator 2: Lights

Tips:
- When taking off, wait for the tail to lift off of the ground, and then pitch up.
- This aircraft has a relatively slow climb rate.
- You will need to use trim on this aircraft. sorry.
- For complete stabilization, combine the gyro with trim.

    @Redstreak45 It is my own design, but it most likely resembles many other aircraft of this kind.

    This is really cool, is it based on the MQ-9?

    @spefyjerbf practice. In my opinion, these futuristic prop planes are better than those plasma-powered things everybody already saw in Star Wars

    @MAHADI It's just a prefix, it is meaningless, other than stating that it was made by me.

    Who needs a camera when you can buy a $million drone?

    Not bad. It looks very nice. However, it has issues. It pitches down, needing full trim to stay level, ailerons are moving through the wing, and propeller is tilted. I think it would look better if the entire engine pod was tilted, and you could have trimmed it by angling horizontal stabilizers.

    @Botfinder Depends what the task is. Tag me on an unlisted post, and I'll see what I can do.
