incredible. I would want one until I saw the price tag. I'm sure it's a bitch to fly. These operators make it look sooo much easier than it really is. I learned this the hard way with planes and helicopters.

That's pretty cool!

You can buy a close range transmitter kit for about $100, USB plug-in - I'm actually thinking of getting one.

I'm old school..

Base price of the X6 (the one with the video camera) is listed as $16,995 on their website.

Not bad when you consider we would send a $60k or more hellfire missle to kill one or 2 people or drop a pack of C4 right on the roof of the Mercedes they are driving.
