I'd like to know aLOT more about that, too... went digging aroundon his website, didn't find much.:(

I wonder what the push was behind to R&D a project like that?

Or maybe just a bunch of RC enthusiasts with too much time and $$ ?

Good find, Garett.

I bet we can train a squirrel to fly that bad boy. I feel a new Iraq strategy coming on!!!

[my2002lightning]

"new Iraqi strategy" ?

The latest testement that I've seen as to their "abilities" were one Iraqi conscript trying to shoot an RPG from an open area at American positions.:rolleyes:

Let's just say the .223 tracers "neutralized" the Iraqi/RPG threat in bursts and it wasn't pretty.

:eek2:

The problem is they don't care if they die, and for every one we kill 5 more are "born". :(

I think it's a fake and they fired a missle into the ground instead of a plane. :rll:
