They strapped Michael Moore and his camera crew to the wing. Not a big mod really.

Thats cool. I followed the link on the banner ad about the cameras.....cool!

That had some RC plane flying at 15,000 feet with a camera that needs a HAM license to operate.

Very cool pics. I need to learn how to fly RC planes....always wanted to put a camera on one.

There are some R/C pilots who have hooked up those wireless video cameras and fly using 3D goggles or a small TV. I'm planning on installing one on my P-51.

I've flown R/C since the mid 70s and recommend it. Tons of fun.

Why don't you use the money on flight lessons?

Wireless camera less $100
small tv about $100 or 3D goggles are about $200

Flight lessons at least $3K
Insurance $$
plane Rental $$

I actually used to fly full size years ago until it got to expensive. I am looking at getting back into it since I can afford it now but i'm trying to decide whether to get back into flying or scuba diving. I can't afford both.
