I was watching this without headphones, and heard the faintest hint of familiar music, and thought "oh no they didn't."

They did.

edit: context (I personally still love it, though the love is highly diluted at this point)

I can't wait till someone losses one in a "high importance" area, wont the media love it

That's not a first person RC video! This is:

my uncle and cousin are getting into flying these RC planes and were showing me this first person POV stuff. Some of the headsets are unreal, show speed, height, distance from controller, battery life, elevation etc. Really quite detailed.

One of the videos showed the plane almost a kilometer from where it was being controlled, the headset gives you so much more freedom to go wherever you want to with the planes.

fuck viemo is such a peice of shit website.

bufffferrrrrrrr

orly? makes sense though, plus I assume there are other places like airports where they're obviously illegal to operate. What about at places like the Gold Coast if you fly them off shore?

yarly, there are restrictions and licensing requirements in Australia, controlled by CASA, where R/C flying is concerned like confiscation, fines (like $20k+) and gaol time.


One of the advantages of being in the RAAF, used military airspace where CASA couldn't do a thing. Although when flying we had to contact the tower.

The basic rules:

Keep your model aircraft away from
populated areas and the immediate
vicinity of others (i.e. > 30 metres)

Do not operate within 3nm or 4.5km
of an aerodrome without approval

Do not operate in controlled airspace
above 400ft without approval

Do not operate in military prohibited or
restricted areas without approval

Consider the benefits of approved flying
areas

Do not fly in poor visibility, clouds or at
night
