Someone has made an FPV Predator, have you seen it? Your coworkers would probably get a kick out of it this Summer...

I have seen it, and some of them have actually worked with the predator, but our take on UAV's is a little different. We are doing medium sized planes that stay no more then 1000 feet of the deck. We aren't doing strictly military like most UAV's.

Im working as a firefighter / airfield maintenance on RFN (Missile Test Range North), is the largest overland test range in Western Europe.

In addition to missiles, the range has proved very suitable for the testing of UAVs.

Actually, I've chatted with you over on rcuniverse a while ago, and figured that's what it was. Just never asked.

Can't seem to make up my mind. Did the IT stuff, then some more specialized digital video server development (hardware/software). Switched to graphics and video production, and now I'm doing electrical engineering. Mostly designing and testing video cameras for industrial and sub sea usage.
