The FPV (first person view) RC stuff is pretty cool. It would be hard not to build a Sopwith Camel, arm it with a BB gun, and go shoot at tethered "observation balloons" that you set out.

That's way cool. I wonder if it's just recorded for later playback or if there is a feed to a monitor in real time.

That would rule with R/C combat.

Dogfight with streamers.

I just got my fpv vapor today! Fatshark headset, camera, and airplane for 199.99! The headset alone is $250!

I don't think this is the same p51, but very cool as well! http://youtu.be/984tPA7k3yg

I like that one. I would set the plane up as very under powered with very slow controls. RC planes tend to be wildly over powered and super twitchy controls, not like a real plane at all. He seemed to do pretty good with this one control wise, cut you can see it rocket off the runway.

The real test. Setup a scale aircraft carrier and see if you could catch a wire (that would be super hard).
