This is pretty neat. Up to 4 hours of flying.

Très intéressant et l’atterrissage est la cerise sur le gâteau.

$50,000 each ... I think I'm in the wrong business ... impressive performance though ...

Who cares about the pricetag since its probably U.S supplied for its allies.

My wife is from Israel, she tells me they have been using these for at least 20yrs now. She remembers when she was a little girl hearing about them getting shot down. Also if she knows anything about the Israel army is that, most likely they came up with it and built it all themselves.

Canada bought the Skylark for the Army in 2006.

It is not only RC that has done not openly shown operations.
During the cold war particularly with the division of Germany,
rubber powered models were flown over the Berlin wall at
night with written letters and messages inside. Good old
Wakefields rubber powered models with up to 500 winds
in them and 5 to 6 strands of lubricated rubber would
swing a 22 inches foldable prop for a good long flight, some had
reduction drives. I still have a foldable 22 inches prop, it is
at least 30 years old. A good trimmed out model would easily
flight a straight 1/4 mile track. However, we use to trim them
out for left turning circle power on and a transition onto right
on glide to touch done....within a few hundred feet of T/O point.
