This is such an elegant application of VR technology. Clicky Clicky (http://www.therawfeed.com/2006/09/vr-gear-makes-rc-airplane-coolest-toy.html)

Way cool, and what a great business idea... Fancy selling live video feed to your subscribers while they "command" the camera on a real airplane.
That could save major airlines from bankruptcy!!! Or give small airplane pilots an extra source of revenues to keep them in the air!

Quite a few years back I flew RC models a lot, and at that time the best we could do is put a camera (still or 8MM movie) and trigger the camera or start/stop the movie camera by radio. That was fun, but this is a HUGE leap in technology! It would not take much to adapt that system to fly the plane by just moving your head!

Freakin' wierd!

There has just GOT to be some bidness application - or how about bombing Venezuela from your living room? :D

I think this thing is awesome. I wonder if I could hook it up to the bike helmet? Let the plane fly about 1/4 mile ahead, maybe even carrying my V1. :D

...how about bombing Venezuela from your living room?I think they're way ahead of you, Ron. They just have a whole lot more money to play with.
