Just AV FPV, not UAV, but brilliantly done.
[Thanks to Michael Oborne for the link]

Love the humility at the end there. Everyone crashes....

Comment by Veikko Vierola on March 21, 2012 at 12:53pm 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...

Comment by David M Eno on March 21, 2012 at 8:17pm 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.
Comment by Veikko Vierola on March 22, 2012 at 11:01am Cool vintage stick, no 2.4 GHz available? The servos are über correct too.
Comment by Flying Monkey on March 22, 2012 at 11:25am ...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.
