    Could it be that the ailerons are reversed? Looks like you only steering with pitch and yaw, with aileron working against. Cool plane, love it.

      The ArduPilot "differential spoilers" seem to have a mind of their own, I use my aileron sticks, but ArduPilot mixes it to roll (ailerons, flaps) and yaw (ruddervators on the A tail).

      Oh interesting idea Muhammad, with a couple of fixes, I think this might work well for this. Suggest you start by building the first one and figure out what the problems are, then build the second one with the fixes.

      Most 'fixes' will be about the mounting and wiring for the booms and spars. The design is for the wings and tail boom to be removable, but it doesn't work great OOTB, but easy fixed I think.

    I want one but with w/o a twin boom tail but with a rudder and aleron

      There is a pusher motor at the back of the fuselage, how would that work? In any case - then it's not a scale model RQ-7 any more. 😂 Thanks for watching!

      @@timtheplaneman don't get me wrong, awesome work but I'm just used to other drones and I'm not a big fan of quads but prefer a drone like a Cessna 172 or something like that
