If you think its hard to find your way back to the field, you should try to find you way to a moving car, its much more difficult than I thought it would be.

Now let's talk about the music, frankly, you need to fire the musical director. It is 2007, you know? That music sucked when it was released, and I remember when it was released, just to give you a vague idea of my age, I'm not just a RAP kid.

Somebody rolled off the wrong side of the bed!!

Chill out dude, It is just a comment, and my opinion. Are you the musical director for the video? Why is your underwear bunched up? Are you a moderator? Are you going to report me becasue of this thread?

Now as I stated before, the video is cool. Something that I would do, if it wasn't illegal in this country. And that is ON TOPIC.

There is NOTHING illegal about it, no law says you can not fly a model airplane from a car. Did you just make this up, or did you just listen to someone else that had no idea of what he was talking about ???

Status: offline 		Cross country flying is not illegal. RPV flying without a visual to the flown aircraft, is under FAA regulation. Sorry If I made the wrong assumption, I saw your other video, and noticed the virtual googles. The fact that you were able to fly up behind the car, led me to believe that the same technology was utilized here. I also saw the "disclosure" statement about the "back-up" pilots along the route on the other video, something a little im-practical in this situation.

I am somewhat involved in the AP world, and that is the latest news from the FAA. Cannot quote exact regulation. But the RCAPA has all the info. http://www.rcapa.net/

But why spoil your fun, I already said that the video was cool, and I wish I could do it. If you flew your airplane in a safe and resposible manner, then you should have no problem.

If you don't believe me.....just ask him!!

Status: offline 		JettPilot,
nice video! I can see why you found it hard to find your way home especially as home was moving. I hope you were not flying and driving at the same time I am sure some people here would take a very dim view of that !!!

Guys,
lets try and keep it polite, is there really a need for personal digs ?

Thanks for sharing JP

What does knowing him have to do with the facts stated above? JettPilot could be the safest pilot in the world for all I know, but the facts are there, plain and simple. Does he live in the US? Was the video made in the US? Was the RPV technology (not line of sight) used in the making of the video? If the answer is yes to the above questions, then there is a problem.

I re-iterate, it was a good video, I just question the judgement behind it. I have a similar video from my helicopter, before my camera decided to crap out on me. The difference is the technology used to shoot the video, I used line of sight to the remote aircraft, no enhancing devices for "over the horizon" or more appropriately "behind my back" flight.

Status: offline 		The plane has to be visible from the pilot's perspective at all times, but the pilot doesn't have to look at it all the time. Otherwise you would be breaking the law every time you take a peak at your transmitter buttons while flying your little park flyer in your backyard. We need people to experiment and push the envelope if we don't want to become encrusted in our little safe and dull world. Laws help us be safe, but laws can also be changed. Doing something in a safe and responsible manner can help prove that the law can and has to be changed, and that it can be done safely.

You are pushing it here aren't you? Being in visual range and utilizing enhancement devices are two completely different things. Don't twist the subject. When was the last time you had to look down to flip a switch? If you do, You have very bad habits and you are not being as safe as you could be.

I couldn't agree with you more. I know for a fact that civilians "with vision" are the ones that drive the technology. I can accept that. I really don't know what is the proper procedure to go around this problem without "getting in trouble". Most likely the solution is to have "back-up" pilots along a route WITH DIRECT COMMUNICATION to the "command center" to eliminate the possibility of collision with aircraft and fixed objects. And equally important, not to overfly populated areas.

In the other video where Jettpilot flies "back home" in windy conditions, he stated that there were "back-up" pilots along the route. In this situation, with a moving vehicle, the possibility of a back-up pilot is a little im-practical, I did not say impossible.

Status: offline 		Yeah you are right and of course I am playing the devil's advocate, with a big smile on my face and a beer in my hand. CHEERS!!! But it reminds me of something I saw in a movie once. A law enforcement officer (played by Brian Dennehy if memory serves) charged a man for not tying his car to a post while unattended, because there was an old law in that village that said you had to tie all 2 and 4-wheel vehicles to a post when unattended or something like that, and nobody had thought to kill that law. He did that to get back at a bad guy or whatever, you get the idea. But it shows that something that was considered reckless 50 years earlier can be completely normal and safe now.

With all the technology that's becoming available now, it's hard if not impossible to keep all the laws current. 10 years ago, it was considered reckless to fly a model plane in a schoolyard. I would have ripped a new one to anybody I caught flying a RC plane in our city. Now I hover a
