The View From the RC Pilot Seat

Monday July 28, 2008
With a hat tip to Team Teabag, here's a nifty item from Hobby Lobby International (not to be confused with the arts & craft stores). The "Pilot View FPV 2400" First Person Video Camera is a little camera that goes inside your RC airplane (or just about any other kind of RC vehicle that will hold it). But the really cool part is that the camera transmits to a set of goggles. Wearing them you supposedly get the feel of actually being inside your RC while it flies (or drives or even speeds across the water). For about the same cost of a new hobby RC ($ 549.00) I could breathe new life into some of my older but still "good for another lap or two" vehicles. They're taking preorders right now.
