It's already possible for amateurs to use an RC plane/drone without a line of sight, it's called FPV(first person view) piloting. They have a videocamera onboard and transmit the video signal into their VR googles. Then they control their plane with a normal radio controller. [VIDEO] (this one made the news recently) [LINK] More recent designs involve head tracking: [LINK] Damn that looks cool. Wish I had money to start a new hobby. Since electrical systems already exist for driving servos and other devices, all you need is a detonator and some explosives to make a lethal and accurate flying bomb that can be remote controlled from a distance.

Like this: [VIDEO] ??? (Note: that video caused a _lot_ of controversy in the FPV (first person video) and RC community.)

This one caused a _lot_ of controversy in the FPV (first person view/video) RC community a while back: [VIDEO] if you don't have the time/patience to watch the whole 3-ish minutes, try this but: [VIDEO]

Since it's been shot atLeweb 2012 it's probably more of a demonstration than a stealth flight like they did in NY [VIDEO] Regarding the law it's a bit more complicated, owning one isn't a problem (Parrot is selling his stuff without troubles), but as for using it, you need to: - have a direct visual on it - no flight above 50 meters as for a fly by video: - Must be at least 15 Km between uav and closest airfield - only allowed above unpopulated zone - no flight above 50 meters [LINK]
