Check this out. Been thinking of building one of these and keeping it in the Pinz. For those long off trips when you always wonder, "Is this the best place around to camp or is it just over that hill?" This is your cure:

That is really cool. Just imagine the footage you could get flying that thing here in Colorado.

That is really neat! I really felt like I was riding in a real airplane. I would have liked to have seen more low passes though.
It's gotta be hard to watch the video and not fly it out of range though. You really need one person flying and keeping an eye on the airplane from the ground and other operating the camera.
I wonder how many millions our military is paying for pretty much the exact same thing. :D

Not familiar with remote planes--what kinda range can you get out of them? Would there be a way to setup a control station in the Pinz for added distance?

Wow!
Very cool setup.
Nice melding of hobby & technology....
