Today my friend Cliff showed me his first-person video R/C airplane:

This thing has every feature imaginable, which means it packs a lot of wires:

Here’s a video tour of all its features, which include the following:

• Auto fly-home if control is lost (uses GPS)
• Heads up video display of altitude, heading, and pitch
• RF beacon if the plane is lost
• Auto stabilization using FMA co-pilot
• Data logger providing an audible report of battery life and other stats
• VR goggles for watching the action
• Pan and tilt camera, controllable from the radio
• High-power transmitter (he’s flown a mile away on FPV)
