Japanese Fukushima UAV identified

B Type Machine II

Perhaps the translation does not do its name justice. The platform sports an 86cc petrol motor and  3.2 meter wing span. Its made by the Fuji IMVAC company.

Our thanks go to Jiro Hattori who pointed us the right way.

The images were taken by Air Photo Service operators of fixed wing and rotary platforms.
