Do they really think this is state of the art for FPV??

It is a neat little package, but I'm not sure it garners Engadget coverage...

- I just looked at the whole thing..it just records and stores, has a USB output on the back. Might not be too bad as a pylon or external mounted recording option...records VGA at 25fps on to 2GB of internal storage.

    And if you live in the states, the answer is...not very high at all!

    Ya, with retractable wings and everything! Wow!

    How fast does it go?
    How much does it cost?
    Where can I buy one?

    (the three questions you always get from kids at the flying field)

    I think that they lead the title with "Cheap..." and not inexpensive says it all.

    Lol...fortunately this is not a pic of my hand...I copied it from the engadget post. The other thing I thought was funny - my secretary passed by my desk, and thought this was a "pocket rocket" of a completley differnt, more interactive and vibrating kind - we won't say where her mind is (*cough*"gutter"*cough*) - I just laughed and told her the last thing we wanted to do was introduce MORE vibration to the airframe.

    @Gary - lol...is that a first??
