Check this out. This guy built an RC F-16 and included a camera in the cockpit so you get the aircraft POV. Awesome! 8)

Training for those future drone pilots. :wink:

But seriously, so incredibly cool! :supz: Mounting a camera on an RC airplane is one thing, but making the camera move to orient with your head mounted goggles and including a working altimeter is another. Bravo, excellent work! :drink3:

I guess this is a trend now. Here it is with an RC P-51, and the guy even has the doll's hands attached to working controls.
