I was reading the news tonight. I was amazed at how small they can get drones...

Domestic use of aerial drones by law enforcement likely to prompt privacy debate

"With a wingspan of 72 cm and a weight of 430 grams, the Wasp is AV’s smallest UAS. Wasp can be manually operated or programmed for GPS-based autonomous navigation."

This article tells all about it.

    In my latest read "Wired for War" the Predator Drone can stay flying for 24 hours !! Also its deployed by teams in/near the zone but flown operated by people thousands of miles away via satelite link from a trailer in the USA , can laser lock on targets for other weapons as well as spy etc.

    I just bought an RC Cessna 1400mm wing from hobbyking N.S.W and now saw these video transmitters with goggles. A bit out of my league price wise but if I stay in the hobby might get an image transmitted to my laptop to fly ! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=15124

    ps. Im not going to War.
