The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper was put in service in 2007 as an effective unmanned aerial vehicles. This drone originates from the same family as its predecessor, the MQ-1 Predator, and its successor, the Predator C. The Reaper features a body style similar to that of gliders, with a broad wingspan and narrow fuselage. The MQ-9 is equipped with a bomb attached to the belly of the aircraft and four missiles, two on each wing. The plane is fairly easy to fly and performs well.

The launch controls for the projectiles are as follows.

1: interior missiles
2: exterior missiles
3: bomb

I hope you all enjoy. Feel free to adjust and modify as you will. Cheers.

If SP was a beauty contest (OK that seems to be the trend) this uav gets highest marks! Opinion: to prefer simpler controls that rated pilots are accustomed to, just my 2 cents here.

@StrawHat: I invert the pitch controls on all of my airplanes soley for personal preference. I find it more comfortable and simulatively accurate if pulling back on the yoke tilts the nose upwards and visa versa. As for the issue of power, an increase thereof would be in bad taste because the MQ-9 has a top speed of approximately 300 mph, and this model slightly exceeds that as is. However, as I mentioned in the description, make adjustments as you see fit to better enjoy the aircraft.

I like the looks but it needs more power (just add an extra vtol under the 1st one) also for what reason did you invert the pitch controls? For the primary wings only if thye are in front of CoM should you invert controls. If you make the adjustments and reupload I will rate this.
