Yeah, for a long time I have thought of a camera inside my favourite plane's RC model and controlling and watching it fly from the cockpit. And if the view would be movable...whew!

For combat I'd put a laser pointer in the plane pointing forward and a receiver in the back of the cockpit to recognize a hit. Of course it cannot register a proper lead on target and not from every angle but it would be someting to resemble hitting another plane with a a cannon.

The applications are limitless....

Lasers don't require the dweeb with the joystick to account for ballistics.. paintballs, or something that either marks, or disables the targets is more fun.

That'd be really easy to add, I think. Something someone may have fun bringing to the con, for example...

This site has the gyro setup. Looks like you can buy them integrated into goggles but I think he used the stand alone gyro with another type of goggle. Prices are given in Swiss Francs.
