The thing to notice is the maturity of the authorities. It was in their country that planes were flown into buildings in an unprecedented event. But back here, our M***n 'Babus' create more hoopla as if R/C are the 'Weapon of choice' rather than Cars/Bikes/Rucksacks/Cell phones or even Tiffin Boxes!!!

Much uncalled for curbs has been imposed by our security agencies who are one of least trained and educated of even the third world countries. The saddest part is, few self proclaimed Messiah of the R/C scene in the country did little achieve in this regard, an important agenda they had in their charter.

God Bless the Countrymen.

The point is it was as good as it was bad. More people try to do such things. If its professional and all goes well, then good.

BTW Excellent Footage. Hats Off to those guys.  :salute:

Not good at all. Radios fail, batteries die, ESC's burn and even the most experience pilot crash.
