I say more power to 'em. If somebody is going to get the HS dollars anyway, I hope it goes to micro aviation - advance my Hobby !

Ha! Thats funny, I know the guy who created that MAV, Kyu ho Lee. The UF is really leading the way in MAVs, they conduct their testing at our RC field, so we get a front row seat to some pretty neat stuff!!
The 'Whooping MAV' is pretty cool too, morphing wing design has been fun to watch.
