Ok bear with me here because i have no drawings or diagrams. Basically this is a device designed [thought up] to transmit or receive or tranceive (im not sure how to spell it). Basically this will transmit information about your aircraft from speed to altitude to lat-long basically this is connected to a receiver attached to an OLED screen so you wear it on your wrist and get all of your information on your wrist instead of a ground station in a big van thats wasting gas. If it happens to be a transceiver inside of the airplane you could say activate your emergency return home in case of an emergency. So if anyone with good programing knowledge and some decent funds should try this it just might work out.

That type of screen meant to sit atop your TX is available from EagleTree.

I do not think the comment about dropping bombs or missles on neighbours is especially PC these days.

I'll second that. Many of us are already use the Eagletree system for real-time telemetry or make our own downlinks. It's pretty common these days.

Also, I know you were just joking about the bomb and missile thing, but that's not welcome here. Please refrain!

Oh, one more minor point.

It is strictly against the AMA rocketry code to fire a model rocket at any angle not approaching vertical.
