No but I've seen quite a bit about it and did wonder it was a bit, I couldn't be bothered to look for myself. Also any pudding that comes in bucket sized portions must be good...

yeah this is him, I imagine that when he lands the earth around shatters from how manly he is -
Jeb Corliss pretty much shits over everything to with flying, the man must have balls like melons

Cool, I want one.
You can get the basic kits here: http://www.firstpersonview.co.uk/flight-kit-boxes/advanced-flight-box-kx131-vr1400-goggles-rx
The actual plane is much cheaper that video link basically a big triangle of foam with an motorCan you get them to drop stuff?
Egg bombing someone from 30 miles away would be the best thing ever.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp4mxNE_k-Y
Also found this video which is very cool
http://vimeo.com/15327340
What also cool is that you can attach a servo to the camera mount and a sensor to the goggles so when you turn you head the camera turns too as shown here:

He also has a spotter and in the long range video he chase car to take over in case of signal loss
-
It's a bit more than just an R/C plane though, you fly it with video goggles on and see through the "eye" of the plane in real time. I'd love to know how he flies around all those mountains without losing the signal.
He has a high gain 18Db transmitter that is attached to an automated servo so it always points in the direction of the plane, which its self is trailing a 5m wire antenna. \in one of his videos he's flying it from 30 miles away.

...looks familiar...

The brev ones are £60 http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brev-m-cnc-pedals-black-prod23785/ which a bit much for me, and the white ind. ones are something like £125.
Maybe i'll just have to get the BLB ones, can you order over the phone from them?
Edit:
Ah found them I think!
They're called MKS Compact pedals.
Though they appear to cost more than the BLB one damn...
-
Cheers, I trawled ebay for pedals last night but with no success.
-
I rather fancy some of these, but I dont want to pay BLB prices.
As most of BLB's own branded stuff is just otp taiwanese stuff with their logo on, I've been trying to find who makes them but have drawn a blank so far.
Wellgo make some that are similar but they're not as nice looking/available in this country.
I'm sure i've seen them somewhere else under a different brand but an't find them for the life of me, anyone got any ideas?
-
Fuck me those first person planes are cool! I always wanted to be a pilot and would appear to be a cheap wait to actually be one(compared to learning to fly/owning a real plane). If i can ever afford it i'm 100% doing it. Even if you ever learned to fly these's no way you be allowed to fly like this:

Just checked it out, this is in fact an authentic initiative by the NSPCC.
A warm welcome to all our cartoon friends! We are incredibly grateful for your support to end cruelty to children in the UK. Although the NSPCC did not originate the childhood cartoon Facebook
campaign, we welcome the attention it has brought to the work we do. -
grrr, I can't afford it really but that stem is too good a deal to resist...
DIBS!

at least he didn't do it half heartedly...
could have done the back tire, cog, wheel nuts and headset though, just lazy really... -
I know nothing about dub (is dubstep vastly different? Sorry I'm commuting a Faux pas) but this amused me for some reason
-
Carbon forks have made a load of difference to mine, shaved loads of weight off and made it handle better.
I found that too when I still used mine
