This isn't its own MOS. The actual MOS for UAV Pilot is like 85W or some shit. I am a 31B and I flew this bitch in Tikrit.

@BlackTalon53 Im guessing you work in this field? Im interested in this MOS, but what do you do after launch other than keep radio contact? do you do infantry work after? or does rest of team secure area.

@BlackTalon53 ; unless that is a retro fit, the raven you are looking at is an 8ch. analog. The new version has a different prop and a more robust motor. Keep in mind, this is not a performance acrobatic aircraft. The raven is designed for endurance.

Great job guys!

@BlackTalon53 i think it need more speed with smaller prop, and larger pitch.

[BlackTalon53]

That small high-rpm propeller will give poor efficiency for such a plane...more diameter, less pitch is needed...
