RE: Got 2.5 minutes?
What is really amazing to me is the model. I got into RC in the early 90's when indoor flight was a pipe dream. Then we started to play with magnetic actuators on Peanut scale type models, then graduated on to proportional electric actuators. Costs came down, weights came down, batteries got one heck of a lot better, motors became cheap AND good, and then one day you turn on your computer and see a guy flying a .25 glow sized airplane in a basketball court!
A few years ago we used to say that indoor RC was basically at the same stage as outdoor RC was in the 60's. I think indoor has closed the gap.
