There's a big fuss about it in the RC forums. Lot of folks think it was irresponsible. In his defense, it was 7am. I think we have gotten awfully comfortable telling people what they can and can't do..........

What kind of range do those RC planes have?! :shock:

I used to fiddle with RC cars with my dad back in the day, but the range was pretty terrible.

Run it via web access, cell towers all over and a cell phone can take the video too. Hell, I bet we could design and bid out an App for it in a week. Snap your phone in a protective case and control it from your home.
