You see the AR-Drone yet?

got to the coolest thing I've seen in ages.

Paul,
that is crazy! If you could signal out the hum and have it go black that would be the reason for all UFO sightings!!!

Either of these machines are something else. Parents thought kids bugged them for video game players? I forsee this as much, much, worse!

needs a min-gun that will shoot spitballs

very cool...I noticed the winds were very calm. When in Iraq we had a few small UAVs that just could not be used due to wind conditions, however I do see this one working if they increased to size! I want one.

The software compensates (to a degree) in windy conditions. GPS coordinates can be locked in on the controller/transmitter.

Also, if you watched that entire video, you know about the "coming home" feature where the guy flys it into the distance, then flips a switch that brings it back to him automatically as it seeks out its original position using GPS. Here he does it in windy conditions... pretty amazing stuff.
