Look back at the first post.

The goal is to build a 144-inch wingspan jet and fly it "far out of the city," using "satallite" technology, by an R/C beginner seeking construction tips (if we are to believe it isn't just a silly prank in the first place).

Nobody has said, "Don't get involved with autonomous flight." But every single person who has personal experience with this subject knows that a potentially dangerous situation can result, and for this reason they are trying to send the message "Start small and work your way up."

Setting realistic goals is the first step to success.
