this is another very cool flying RC device
thought it would be crazy expensive. If it's anything like the local builder of small multi-prop drone style craft that do surveillance (nice HD) they
run about 50,000.00. but video says built for about 1,000.00
okay Kami, get working on it, group buy!
Let us know, this or a GoPro 2.....

Very cool ...! Already has a camera on it but it needs some tracking software so it can follow a kiter along
And now a moan ... Japanese people seem to believe that if it wasn't done by a Japanese person, then it's never been done before ...
That's a screenshot from the PC sim IL-2 Sturmovik plus add-ons ... yes I've tried to fly it landing is a killer ...
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
