"The link to DropBox seems to be down, or removed. Is there another link to the model files, because I'd really love to have a copy to help set up my aircraft! Thanks!"
I've read a lot about the NitroPlanes/ProJet MQ-9 Reaper, and mostly about how to outfit it with a camera. Before I received my plane from some ignoramus who packaged it like a 2-year-old might do, I thought that I could cram a GoPro camera into…
