Spice Cat Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Highly skilled flying and excellent camera work. Don't think I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat (rActive) Harbord Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It looks fake to my eyes. I think it's a compilation of a series of flights possibly put together from existing stock footage with some extra sequences added in. Bah humbug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 This has brought on the pains over on RCG and the other US forums - apparently there's already something going on with the FAA re limiting R/C flying in a big way (well, you know how the Yanks never take measured steps) and, with the apparent breach of controlled airspace evident on the video, they think it's another nail in the coffin. Impressed with the flying but do we really need anarchists? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I wonder how long it will be before some crazies decide to use model aircraft for carrying out terrorist attacks based on this video. On the other hand, it's relatively easy to produce a UAV these days with off the shelf equipment and carry a 5 or 10 lb payload and have it programmed to deliver it with GPS accuracy. it would be a very difficult target to take down.

Simon K 3 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Seems like the bad guys are already using large RC models for unwanted / illegal purposes.... Link found on Highalpha forumTrouble is the rules are designed to try and stop the small minority from doing nasty things, but in reality are the bad guys going to take any notice.... probably not.Will this impact the "Jo Average flyer".... yes and for no real reason.Whilst some great flying, the minority spoil it for the majority.... shame but true.
