I wish I didn't believe it

I like toys, and things which go boom, and even "bang" as much as the next guy (heck, perhaps more than most), but it never occured to me to make a Flying .45.

I mean, no; just, no.

A guy took an RC helicopter, fixed a .45 Colt to it, added a video camera (so he could see what it was pointing at), and hooked up an actuator so he could actually fire it, while flying the helicopter.

The mind reels.

Hey now,
As a long time aeromodeler and member of the AMA I'm surprised this person is still walking the streets.
Ever since 9-11 we've been fighting with the feds to keep model airplanes legal in the U.S. to the point where the AMA has asked us to turn in anybody who even starts asking about rigging models with guns or bombs.

One idiot like this can make it rough on hundreds if not thousand of otherwise sane model pilots.
I really hope he gets shut down before somebody gets hurt.

It's a crazy time to be a modeler, all the nifty tec available; tiny remote cameras, gps systems, fast computors, all of that combines to make some serious UAVs and MAVs I even have friends in this new industry.
It's great, it's cool, it's going to get us shut down totally if idiots keep pulling this kind of thing. Just what was he thinking?

Heck, a friend of mine was explaining (18 years ago) about how he was working on feedback systems to use GPS to manuever small planes in three dimensions.

He said they couldn't land, but with what they had; off the shelf, they could use them as cruise missles.

Man, this shit has been done before. Remember the shotgun UAV thing they were researching? I wish I can find the video. And besides, it takes a retard to come up with something marketable that the MIC will buy up and use as standoff weaponry, in order to keep our "boys" "safe".

Sometimes you worry me Terry. I think you post things like this so that you can laugh at the disgusted replies from your "liberated" friends. I think you are a mental pervert LOL, you get off on people's reactions. Kind of like.. you know, ejaculatory diatribes of disgust and hate.

Miss you buddy,
