  1. Been there, done that on Build Your Own KiteCam · · Score: 1

    Well, not with a kite, but with a RC Plane and an El-cheapo camera.
    Okay, I did crash into a building, but I'm no terrorist, and it did not inflict damage to people, plane nor camera.

  2. First stealth ship? I don't think so on More on the Swedish Stealth Ship · · Score: 1

    "As well as being the first stealth ship..."

    The Norwegian KNM Skjold were built some five years ago, and do have stealth capabilities.

    KNM Skjold were last year in the US to demonstrate its capabilities to the US Navy.

    From http://www.knmskjold.org/english/engfacts.htm:
    "For the first time radar absorbing materials are included in the loadbearing structure (structural RAM) of a vessel over large areas. This contributes to significant weight reduction compared to the conventional method of cladding this material on the outside of the load bearing structure. The ship is designed with a low number of reflective panel orientations and none right angled corners. This is the reason for the faceted external shape of the vessel."
