- This great flying scale model of the MQ-9 Reaper drone includes elevator control to allow stunts and very sharp turns. Find it here goo.gl/t48Npu
Pros
- Flying model the MQ-9 Reaper military drone. Details includes weapons, antenna, spinning pinwheel back propeller, and many decals.
- Comes ready to fly with transmitter.
- Three channel control includes throttle, differential yaw, and elevator control. Elevator control provides ability for stunts.
- Fully stabilized gyro mode prevents flips and rollovers making it very easy to fly for beginners. The pitch stabilizer can be turned off at the push of a button to enable loops and sharp turns. But even with the stabilizer off, the plane is very stable and forgiving. Simply let go of the pitch/roll stick if you get into trouble, and the plane will quickly right itself.
- Common 3.7 V 300mah battery can fly this drone for about 10 minutes. Replacement batteries are very common and cheap to keep you flying.
- Although it's a DIY, it's very easy to build. Here an assembly instruction video • XK A110 Predator MQ 9 ...
It does require glueing of EPO foam. Note that EPO will melt with some glues (such as contact cement). I used hot melt glue to assemble mine. But other glues may work, and should first be tested using the planes styrofoam packing material.
Cons
- Possible flyaway potential. Motors go to full power upon loss of transmitter signal.
- Although the listing says glue is included, there was no glue included in the package with my plane. EPO styrofoam is sensitive to some glues and solvents (remember to test the glue that you plan to use). EPO can also be easily damaged in a crash. Recommend doing your first flights in grassy fields until you feel comfortable flying this plane.
- Decals are difficult to install.
- Free spinning decorative propeller creates drag. Recommend not installing it for best performance.

the "Hi rate" switch is actually a switch that tames the stabilization control. In low mode, the control surface is able to move to full deflection but in flight the gyros will quickly limit the throw. In high rate, your inputs won't be overridden by the gyros nearly as much. The gyro control is never off, but just limited. It's not a bad way to give a beginner/expert option, though I do wish it had 3 settings as the low setting has the gyro being too intrusive and the high setting is a bit much for novice pilots, especially if there is some wind.
I ordered the other one and got it, enjoyed it, ordering this one also
Good review as always.
Another nice video

Nice little plane. Cheers:)
I did an air to air video of the Predator, looks great. The failsafe like you said is not setup correctly, I am going to try to see if it will bind with the xk bigger radios.
Nice video!
While you had it in control, you should have tried turning off the radio to see what happens. In your demo, it appeared the right motor had more power than left indicating it may go into a slow toilet bowl and perhaps land when signal is lost.

Instead of flying into another county .
😬
Very good
If you don't have to have a camera, this looks pretty cool.
I have to have an F.P.V. camera 👀 on everything.
😎👍
nice bro you are grate goog😊
Hi friend, I used the Bugs 2 B2W review for the review, but I have a request to do a review Hubsan H301S airplane with GPS I'm curious how the GPS works in it gives you I do not speak English but you do a review that just look and almost everything is understood. I think the purchase of this Hubsan is about the fact that even if you lose your orientation, the GPS will not let him get lost? Regards from Poland
What is the prop size on that rear ( fake ) prop to make it z51 a pusher and put ailerons 😁
Hello quadcopter101 I like watching your vids. I also like to fly these small planes. This plane will hold a small all in one fpv unit. i have a Eachine TX05 on mine and have it set on 25milamp. I do not run a separate battery for the camera, Instead I tap into the plug on the plane and run BOTH the plane and camera on the planes battery. It does cut down on the flight time a little but I use 300 and 350 milamp batteries in it and it doesnt cut down flight time hardly any. and keeps the plane light. and you only have to use 1 battery per flight! I was going to let you know that I also have the Predator. I also have another 2 channel plane called the diamond I got from Tomtop.They also have cameras mounted on them the same way. I use 600 1S in the predator and get a good 12 minutes flight! I use 260 to 300s in the Diamond. Thanks for the videos!! I have a video of my predator and Diamond on youtube, flying F.P.V.
And here's my two channel Predator flying FPV czcams.com/video/9UWWScnLBxw/video.html
And here's my diamond, but not flying FPV czcams.com/video/7qLj1nw3_3I/video.html
wow
How about my shotout? Im waiting it on your last video but it seems that you forget it?😔😔
Guess you didn't watch yesterday's video? czcams.com/video/cKNo0-IfDGM/video.html
Whick is better?
Xk a110
Or
Z51
The Z51 looks better in its more realistic grey color. But the A110 has elevator control to allow loops (the Z51 can not llop without elevator control). Here's my review of the Z51 for comparison czcams.com/video/6PjXSmILRZA/video.html
Quadcopter 101 what is your opinion?
Does it have a gyroscope?
Yes it is gyro stabilized.
👍🎃
why why again late
If you take off the wheels, and hand toss it and land it. It works much better. The wheels are really unnecessary.
No thanks , I expect more from XK , the first crap I have seen from them. Sad! Great review.

Very well done video Sir... thank you for your good work as always you do !!! But this thing is another chinese " moneymaker ". For me, and in my opinion: Hands Off !!! The Mini Trainstar Cessna and its equal other name-branded Models with 6G, are way much better, and they have a good value for our hardworked bucks, as we all know. If you will give an answer Sir, it will be very handsome :-) Hats off and Greetings! Frank ( Subscriber )
