Few clones about and some really funky designs too. AVIC heli plane thing looks pretty fun. Baseball bat plane is aerodynamic :) does the satellite look like the probe eater from James Bond

Hi Ritchie, the Baseball bat one caught my eye, I reckon the tailplane would be prone to damage without anything to keep the fuselage upright while on the ground.  I suppose clones are inevitable.

 

The twin engined orange B25ish UAV looks good.  I'm at the early stages of airframe design and want something modular but practical. My current thoughts are a twin motored wing that takes the speed controls, receiver and battery pack so alternative dumb, only 2 servo, fuselages can be fitted to test ideas and different payloads.
