This looks brilliant! The synthetic view kinda looked brighter than the real thing in the picture ;-) Are you flying the craft through the computer's joystick or using a standard R/C? or even better, an autopilot system? Just curious! :-) I cant wait to get my model up in the air! (Have I mentioned here that i am working on a similar thing as my hobby?) -- Cheers!
