WOW! Not bad for 4 Grand. I will buy 1 and take it to the flying field. People will wonder how I can fly it with my eyes closed. I bet the computer that runs it, is probably cheap too, as dual core cpus are capable of doing thousands of calculations per sec. at a cheap price. I wish I could think that fast, it would have saved a me alot of models thru the past 16 years. The only failure do to circumstances beyond my control, was when a crystal decided to leave my receiver. The rest were do to pilot errors.

You take into account the cost of the heli and gps unit, everything else is cheep.

Welcome to the world of UAV's, this is all the stuff you've been hearing about. They are experimenting with everything from fixed wing aircraft to rotorwing aircraft. I think it is the NAVY that has a fairly large helicopter they are testing. Do a google search for UAV's and see how large they really are.
