Fuck me those first person planes are cool! I always wanted to be a pilot and would appear to be a cheap wait to actually be one(compared to learning to fly/owning a real plane). If i can ever afford it i'm 100% doing it. Even if you ever learned to fly these's no way you be allowed to fly like this:

It's a bit more than just an R/C plane though, you fly it with video goggles on and see through the "eye" of the plane in real time. I'd love to know how he flies around all those mountains without losing the signal.

He has a high gain 18Db transmitter that is attached to an automated servo so it always points in the direction of the plane, which its self is trailing a 5m wire antenna. \in one of his videos he's flying it from 30 miles away.

He also has a spotter and in the long range video he chase car to take over in case of signal loss

Cool, I want one.
Can you get them to drop stuff?
Egg bombing someone from 30 miles away would be the best thing ever. -

You can get the basic kits here: http://www.firstpersonview.co.uk/flight-kit-boxes/advanced-flight-box-kx131-vr1400-goggles-rx
The actual plane is much cheaper that video link basically a big triangle of foam with an motorCan you get them to drop stuff?

Also found this video which is very cool

What also cool is that you can attach a servo to the camera mount and a sensor to the goggles so when you turn you head the camera turns too as shown here:

If hes the guy from that video where the they fly through the mountains practically brushing the ground then yes, he shits over everything flying related.
Beautiful video photography, but in truth, its just a flying camera. The guys behind that must rock!
But that said, I want one!
