www.legendhobb...
This is a test flight with the RQ-7 from Legend Hobby, flying a #HRB 16000mAh 25c 6’s pack. After flying the RQ-7 for approximately 15min. and checking voltage, we were down in pack to 85% , which leads us to believe with throttle management, you could be getting up to approximately 1hr. of flight time with this plane. The RQ-7 doesn’t even seem to mind the 4.22lb. pack, nor does it hinder the flight characteristics of this great flying plane, designed primarily as a drone for the for the military in the scale version. If you’re looking for some great stick time and a great flying plane in one package, the RQ-7 from #legendhobby will not disappoint. Get yours today have have a great time.
RQ-7 SHADOW HISTORY:
The RQ-7 Shadow is an American unmanned aerial vehicle used by the United States Army, Australian Army, Swedish Army, Turkish Air Force and Italian Army for reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition and battle damage assessment. The proven RQ-7B program has a distinguished record with over 1.3 million flight hours, 85% being in combat. It has supported the warfighter in some of the most strenuous operational and challenging environmental conditions.
Over 500 RQ-7 Shadows are in operational use throughout the world carrying electro-optic/infrared imaging sensors and having a range of over 62 mile and a 4-hour on-target loiter time. The Shadow UAV is also capable of landing on a sports field. Our RQ-7 Shadow can't offer a 4 hour duration or a 62 mile range, but it is certainly a fantastic FPV platform with all of the highly practical features of the full size Shadow including the aerodynamically proven inverted V-tail, twin boom layout, center-mounted pusher motor, fixed tricycle undercarriage and the huge central nacelle giving a clear view for your cameras and sensors. For the scale enthusiasts among us the kit builds into quite an accurate representation of the full-size Shadow and at 83" wingspan! The kit features a full set of components, laser cut from highest quality balsa and ply to make construction as fast, accurate and enjoyable as possible.
The over 30 year span since inception to active duty, the RQ-7 Shadow's service career, though long, lives on as one of the most rugged and utilizes UAS in the US MILITARY arsenal as well as several other countries. LEGEND HOBBY now brings you a great flying RQ-7 Shadow that you can easily assemble and turn heads at airfields across the country! This is one unique platform that will serve you well for years to come!

I was shocked at how well it flew with that 16000mah battery. I figured that it would feel real heavy and sluggish on the plane but it wasn’t at all! It literally lifts off the ground with no elevator input on take off! As we fly it more and more we are learning that the RQ-7 is just as docile as any high wing trainer. If it had dihedral in it would be a full blown trainer! I was pleasantly surprised not having to fight any tendencies of bad behavior! Every time we put it together at the field it draws a crowd and 1000 questions! With its long tail moment of almost 4’ behind the wing on carbon tubes she is mega stable. The Bomb racks are already installed on the RQ-7 if you look closely in the video. We will be adding the bombs empty and trying the release mechanisms to see how well that works and if all is good we gonna load the bombs with flour to see how well it carries the load and practice bombing runs. It is just simple to fly and easy to land that anyone can fly the RQ-7!
