Now THAT is COOL. It's especially amazing considering he's doing that with a glider, not a powered R/C plane. And the best part is you don't have to worry about being busted by the FAA for buzz jobs. Man I used to love buzz jobs.

Here is a link to a site where you can see what FPV R/C flying is all about. http://www.rcgroups.com/video-piloting-fpv-rpv-469/

A member of this R/C site recently caused an uproar with his posting of this controversial video. Tell me what you think.

The flying part of me loved the shots of New York city. I just hope that the people doing this don't do anything to spook the feds into taking drastic reactions.

I think that the NY thing was a hang glider and they got permission, which must of have a trick. There are 32 departments that need to sign off on a toilet.

No, they were flying a remotely controlled R/C aircraft. They use sophisticated realtime video links and special long range digital controllers. The guys doing the NY video are from Austria.
