    Was just watching Mythbusters on Discovery and they cut to a commercial that was a dedicated "Mythbusters is brought to you by Hobby King", then it was a commercial for Hobby King where a father and son were outside flying an FPV RC airplane! The kid was wearing FatShark style video goggles while the dad was flying around. That right there is a testament to how much the FPV hobby is growing.

    Maybe somebody has got to win the hearts and minds before the FCC clamps down on evil "drones".

    It looks as though were not far from finding out what is going on in the hearts and minds of the FCC.
    We all should take notice and be ready to share out thoughts and opinions with them.

    My son just saw on TV a commercial for an Airhogs Camera Plane, looks like the FPV stuff has gone main stream just in time for Christmas.

    Mythbusters are pretty cool...when they're not shooting cannon balls through your house.

    {ROTFLMAO} Maybe teh other way around ...

    ... Myth Busters ARE pretty COOL and EVEN hilarious when shooting a Cannon BALL, smashing through a Cinder-Block Wall then to travel up and over a small hill and 700 feet later where this alleged Cannon Ball burst through a front door, through the house, the bedroom and NOT even wakening the occupants whilst they sleep (meh, who sleeps at 4:15 in the afternoon) then to have the Cannon Ball continue it's flight out of the bedroom, out of the house and then to have that very Cannon Ball travel in and through to land on a Mini Van's Dashboard ... YUP "Hilarious" {LMAO}

    WELL as far has Myth-Buster Shows go this ONE would have tickled my PINK [​IMG]
