There is a system that you can fly the plane with those LCD glasses as if you were on board, I forget where the link was but it made me want an rc plane.
Awesome video, more than just bottle rockets though.
I often daydream and think of stuff like this (I don't know why!) Have you heard of a recoil-less rifle? It was an old military anti-tank rifle with a very large shell using very conventional off-the shelf technology. Imagine a cartridge scaled up to the size of your arm, then in order to counteract the forces of firing, you double the size of the gunpowder charge and direct half of it to blast out towards the rear.
a recoilless rifle could be scaled down to a .270 cartridge size, and mounted on an RC...hmmm, I may have said too much already...
An RC-carried home-made small rocket that is spin-stabilised (with video aiming) would be easy to make (Google "fritz-x"), but that is probably stumbling over the line into a "homeland security red-flag" area...
Trivia question, does anybody know why an un-manned aircraft is called a "drone"? (don't Google it, I know you want to!)

The Govt does monitor some of those types of things. I won't get into what they monitor but if it has anything to do with fire, it's usually monitored.
and if the big brother is monitoring this stuff then i better not post about my HOMEMADE EXPLOSIVE FIRE BOMB LAUNCHER with BALLISTIC trajectory . aka chili night at the pub and me passed out face down on the walk home. those key words should waste some poor bastards time if BB is watching :lol: HI BIG BROTHER
