Where's the best place to mount a camera? On a remote-control airplane, of course! How else are you going to get these gorgeous POV shots? This video is part of a series called "Team BlackSheep USA Road Trip," in which the same technique is used for various awesome locations. Link -via I Am Bored

Every time I see one of these I shake my head and sigh. I've been flying R/C for 35 years and this kind of crap is going to get the FAA or the courts to ban or put severe restrictions on our hobby (and like everything else it will only affect the responsible members of the community.)

The Academy of Model Aeronautics has been working with the FAA to keep us from being impacted severely by the recent rules they just passed in response to 9/11/2001 and all it takes is one bozo to screw it up for the rest of us.
