wrote A lttle discussed issue about RPVs is that they do not survive ordinary use that well. I read somewhere that 1000 hours has rarely been exceeded before some glitch or other stuffs them into a hillside or cornfield even without being shot at. That seems a little strange. With a reported price of 6.8 MILLION Dollars, I would think reliability would rival the best of small aircraft. Oh, it probably does. But, there is a whole lot of other crap, in addition to 'normal' airplane stuff that has to work in order for it not to fly into the ground. And even really stupid pilots are not prone to not notice the ground approaching.
