Full fly by remote camera with plane -Videos-

[DebianDog]

I am sure some have you have seen these before but it is the "ultimate" solution. Although I think it is illegal to fly like this in the US.
A Canadian RC airplane enthusiast combined a model airplane, virtual reality goggles and a wireless camera. It works like this: A fairly standard model airplane is controlled normally with a wireless remote control. A pan-and-tilt camera is mounted at the airplane's center of gravity, also controlled wirelessly. Video from the camera is viewable through virtual reality goggles, which have a gyroscope attached to sense the movement of the goggles and control the camera accordingly. When the wearer moves his head, the camera also moves. This breathtaking, goggle-eye video will put a grin on your face for sure:

Here's where to get the head motion sensor package for controlling pan and tilt...

This setup rocks...I can see this getting into UAVs real soon...even if I gotta build one myself!

That would be frickin awsome to have on an AP heli for the camera operator!

I'd like to hook one up to the cockpit of my extra 300 as well. It would be like full size aerobatic training! One in the front seat and another in the back would be cool as well.
