wow - those video goggles and the quality of the real time live reception blows me away.  I think we are seeing the future of RC here.

I think you'd want to be sitting down in a lawn chair while flying a system like this, you could really get vertigo with too many aerobatics.   it obviously doesn't matter if the model is flying towards you or away from you - you are in the cockpit -  so it should make RC flying very easy.  Notice the pilots in these videos aren't even looking at the planes when they do slow flybys past themselves ... almost like an out of body experience.

Ive been thinking for years the only reason to fly RC was if I could actually look out of the RC remotely as I was flying it.  Looks like it may now be attainable by average folks.  Kinda scary too.......you could really pull off some damaging stuff with that.....

Looks like there's no need for human pilots anymore.  In the future military planes will be unmanned, massed produced, and can pull more sustained Gs.

Looks like we will see these in thousands in the future, WWII style in terms of numbers.
