Not to get off topic, but the AMA just recently made a decision regarding FPV flight. The basics are this, you Must have someone who can see the model on a buddy box, AND the "buddy" must have the aircraft in visual range at all times.
Bottom line.......Stay safe, Have fun.
Not off topic at all. I had no idea guys were getting into "FPV" from a hobby perspective.
Craig B, I've wondered what it would be like to remotely pilot a full scale (such as an A-10). Normal flying around wouldn't be a big deal but agressive maneuvering and even landing would be interesting since you rely so much on "feel" in a full scale. Still would be fun to try it.
Now this may be off topic, but once upon a time a guy in our club had a contraption that you sat in/on which had a full scale stick, throttle and rudders. They were mechanically hooked up to an r/c transmitter. Pointed at the runway you could "fly" your moldel with the same controls as you would a full scale. It felt a little awkard sitting there but it worked and was relly kind of fun. Wish I had a picture of it but don't.
