- Ok, lets talk about this. First, it is possible to fly an R/C model
- via remote telemetry. Many modelers are doing this now with off the
- shelf equipment. One company even has the complete airborne package
- along with a superimposed gyro horizon, compass, and airspeed indicator
- which can be installed in an appropriatly designed aircraft. Second, it
- ain't easy to do this. You will need a safety pilot who can take over
- the plane visually if you loose the downlink video. By all means, if
- you have the financial means to try this DO IT! This hobby progresses
- by the experimentation of brave souls who try something new over the
- scoffing and objections of the experts.
- On the matter of dream interpetation (re flying), I refer you
- to Freud.
- Good Luck!
