Yeah, I may have been under some form of influence when I wrote that 😉 But I had just been reading up on some of the newest drone laws. And I totally get the reason for them. I have a cousin who has a couple video drones, and my first thought was - oh gawd no... not him LOL. Just kidding of...
I agree. But the last guy I saw playing with Tesla's wireless power technology got a visit from the Canadian government. He had some cool vids out years ago. He was floating bowling balls in the air like they were under some sort of witchcraft or something.

I remember calculating how much money I would have each week delivering newdpapers to spend on Stompers 😜

Yeah, there are lots of vids on YT about it. And FPV Race drones are basically the same thing. But with head tracker goggles, if you have the camera mounted on a gimbal and turn your head, the camera on the drone follows your head movements. People have put these into RC crawlers and stuff too.
People have been running FPV systems in RC for a long time now. I would love to get some 3d goggles with head tracker and put a 2-axis gimbal mounted camera in the driver's seat of a big scale RC to drive by. That would be fun.
So who here remembers having a wired RC as a kid? Mine weren't quite this old, but this is a pic I just stumbled across that brought up a ton of memories.
Share your memories of RC as a kid. And what do you think we will see next?
For me personally, I have mentioned it began with my father...
