PerryResearch writes "MacGyver would be jealous - here are the plans for a complete 2.4 ghz wireless video transmission system, mounted on a Mikado Logo 20 R/C helicopter, with realtime video overlay showing wireless signal strength, GPS coordinates, and support for videoglasses. Make sure you check out some of their in-flight videos."

From the site:
"The first 3 videos are recorded end of March, 2002 (the construction area seen in the videos is for a new suburban railway line), the 4th video in May, 2002 (as can also be seen from the overlaid GPS-data)."

Here's a company called Segato that has a pretty nice primer on getting started with r/c helis. They also sell some models. Worth checking out. Lots of deep info.
