For those of us who follow military "stuff". Or more preferably RC airplanes with guns on them. Or the politically correct term, UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles).
The Evolution of RC Airplanes with Guns
Posted by Deano Labels: Radio Control Airplanes with weaponsWe all know the days of the fighter jocks are over. It's the geeks and RC'ers of this world that are becoming the future jocks. That don't need to be fit, don't need a invasive medical test and can rush home after work and carry on playing World Of War Craft!
It's not all sunshine and roses though. To become a unmanned aerial pilot it takes alot work and determination and it still requires that "humble" test get a accurate temperature of your body:)

Really Big RC airplanes that have weapons!
Posted by Deano Labels: Radio Control Airplanes with weaponsTo put any sort of "weapon" on your RC airplane. You have a very high possibility, a visit by a member of a "G.I Joe"agency will be knocking on your door.
Some RC airplane enthusiasts have stuck model rockets on theirs. Resulting in a few "save the whales" types going up in arms about how RC airplanes give terrorists ideas.
Well, if you asked the CIA what they think of RC airplanes. I think they and so should you, say they are fully sick!!! The CIA dosen't call them RC airplanes though, they are called UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles).
Pretty much big RC airplanes that carry hellfire missiles, can stay aloft for 40hrs and have cameras that can tell what the "target" is having for breakfast. This is Fully Sick RC!!!
