P-180-based drone
Re: P-180-based drone
From talking to the pilots that fly it in real life, it can be a pain to land, especially in a cross-wind. Should be interesting to see if they decide to RC it.

Re: P-180-based drone
On the Italian forum where they posted this they said they should work in order to reduce the noise. In fact, when it passes the buzzing sound of the engines is quite loud and recognizable.

I can hear its noise every time it's on landing at Linate, even if the windows are closed....james84 wrote:...when it passes the buzzing sound of the engines is quite loud and recognizable.
