Just AV FPV, not UAV, but brilliantly done.

What's the plane?

Bad luck you got there, the guy in the video always catches your plane :)

I'm waiting for his encore, where Prez Obama catches the aircraft on the White House lawn...

Did you guys take a look at his remote?  One stick.

Yep. Is this one: http://www.becker-fm.de/shop/product/1040?gID=11

Kinda, vintage look.

It might actually be a lot easier to fly with this kinda setup.  I know a few of the FPV guys I talk to on the forums are using X box controllers with great success.  With a cheap foamy you don't really need to control the throttle beyond "on" to do what he is doing.

Cool vintage stick, no 2.4 GHz available? The servos are über correct too.

...And the FAA's response... "OMG, that UAV just hit a guy!"

 

He has some great videos on vimeo.  He's like the Where's Waldo of R/C.
