Would the same apply if I were to use a kite instead

the piolet may do within the bounds of a typical
radio controlled flying
area seems excesive.

A friend of mine once put a video downlink in a
model helicopter and
flew using the monitor instead of watching the
helicopter. I always
thought it would be cool to put a pair of
cameras in a model plane,
and hook them up to VR goggles and fly it that
way.
Unfortunately, the Canadaian and probably the
American governments
classify this as UAV (Unmanned Arial Vehicles) and
thus it becomes illegal
for us to do. You can put a camera on a model
plane but point it towards
the ground not forward and not use it to fly
either. This was told to me
by a friend of mine who happens to be an Industry
Canada inspector.
I know this is off-topic, but I thought it was
pretty neat :)
Hacking electronics seems on-topic to a hobby
electronics group :-)
I concur.
