Here is a real special aircraft! This ARF RQ-1-B Spy Plane is powered by an brushless electric motor of the class 400 that replicates real famous NASA Spy Plane. Easy and quick to build, needs 4 servos and a Brushless speed controller. The very light frame employs two different types of extruded polystyrene and is covered with the mimetic camouflage films. The kit includes a set of super light wheels. It is not just a great park flyer but just a true electric scale model able to flight on the normal fields. The super detailed instructions permit to everybody with some building experience to afford this construction. Flying characteristics are excellent.

In real life, the RQ-1-B is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which the U.S. Air Force describes as a "medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system."  It is a Joint Forces Air Component Commander-owned theater asset for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition in support of the Joint Force commander. The RQ-1-B can be employed in moderate risk areas without risking the life of the operator. Examples include areas where enemy air defenses have not been fully suppressed, open ocean environments, and biologically or chemically contaminated environments.

The RQ-1A/B is a system, not just an aircraft. The fully operational system consists of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station (GCS), a RQ1-B primary satellite link communication suite and 55 people.

The tail is swept down because the emergency landing parachute deploys from the bottom of the aircraft causing it to land upside-down. This inverted crash landing protects expensive optics and, because the tail is swept down, does not damage the tail.
