I came across that video through this story.

If you go to the message board and click on the guys profile you can see all his vids. Being a former RC enthusiast it's pretty amazing what you can do now.

That's one way to get on-the-scene beta for conditions farther up the mountain. Can I have one for my backpack?

 

Watching some of the flybys past buildings, it makes me wonder if the military ever uses RC planes like this for surveillance. It would be hard to shoot down a little plane like that as it zips by.

They do. I saw it on a TV recruiting commerical for the Navy. Or maybe it was the Airforce.
