What a nice surprise to find my page here listed (well there had to be a reason, why I suddenly got 30k+ hits per day and the webserver bandwidth was used to the end...).
To answer some of the posts:
the technology is readily available and not so high-tech as some might think
the original quality of the video is considerably higher than shown on the web (due to high compression, big losses)
no, I do not offer it as a kit for sale, but:
there are many companies offering ready-to-go solutions, like: http://www.blackwidowav.com/
no, I have nothing to do with peeking nude neighbours;) or missles (or military in general)
I am aware that the video goggles make me to look like a nerd (if you have not got the opinion otherwise), but the pictures on the web just shows their relative size (in case never seen before)
the helicopter comes from Mikado http://www.mikado-heli.de/ and is a kit. Takes approx. 1 week to assemble, 2 for a novice. Cost around 700$ for a kit, I guess
controlling a model heli is not easy, but one can learn it. Best recommendation is to practise with PC Simulator (not a toy simulator, use a real thing like RealFlight G2 or Aerofly Pro etc.)
