You think it cool now just wait till one of those model airplanes are carrying anthrax...

Very cool video, and I'm glad this guy wasn't "tazed" for his actions. (because thats the kind of world we live in today)

at any rate... to me the implications of this video seem obvious. This guy is apparently just having fun. but... I have to ask, how long do you think it will be before someone uses an RC aircraft they build out of foam, polymer, fiberglass and random RC parts in their garage as a weapon?

Hezbollah has used model aircraft as primitive cruise missiles, along with Ababil drones supplied by Iran by way of Syria.

Way back in the '80's I wanted to get a Remote Chopper
and put Bottle Rockets on it to fire at the Local Cops.

If I did that today?
I'd be hunted down and thrown in jail with BS charges.

Somewhere along the line?
We lost the freedom to pull a stupid prank.
And the freedom to try to blend new things for things like this.

I still want to build my own Air Force though.
All remotely controlled and armed with Bottle Rockets.

The freaking Deer and Turkeys are tearing up my yard!

Pretty cool. Did he get in trouble or something?

Nice video. I would love to see the plane itself.
