Weaponry:
It is fitted with two short range radar guided missiles that hit at a high rate on most targets. The range of their radar is 800 meters, and requires a lock to fire. To fire simply aim at the target and hold down the trigger (space by default), if the lock circle is red, a lock is acquired and the missile will be sent off the rails momentarily.
Performance:
The RQ1 is a short range craft, it has around 8-10 minutes of battery life before needing to RTB. It can travel around 2km with its signal as well.
The max speed in level flight is approximately 27 m/s.
The max climb rate is 10 m/s
Control Center:
The control center features everything you need to fly this aircraft. It allows flight either through the viewport or through a typical 9x5 monitor. An additional 2x2 monitor is situated for a map view.
All 3 monitors allow viewing radar pings in real time, and in the case of the 2x2, seeing their place on the map.
The 2x2 monitor is a touchscreen, where + is zoom in, and - is zoom out, as well as "C" is center on control center, and "D" is center on drone.
The HUD for the drone allows flying with full situational awareness of your vehicle.
-------------
Overall please enjoy - feel free to customize the control center or the drone. The missiles I found work great on the Target Range Addon, but I am not sure how they will do against very maneuverable crafts or transonic + crafts, most likely not well.
