| #5 I have the mental image of the crier atop the minaret wailing his hatred suddenly saying "What's that? (Blam)" |

| #4 Cap, Doubt more stealthy. I had an RC heli similar to this (though to the looks a bit smaller). It was a Kalt Baron 50 w/ the Baron 60 engine. Major hard to fly, esp as I couldn't afford a tail roter gryo and mixer (worked all summer to get it as a teenager, the gyro was almost as much as the heli at the time). The engine was loud, seriously loud! But it had major lifting / hauling power. I never thought to, but I could have easily mounted a shotgun to the heli (thought of bottle rockets tho, lol)! They have electrical ones these days that are super quiet, but I doubt they have the meat for a weapon ... tho recon would be awesome. They say RC helis are one of the hardest things to fly in the world, one of the major reasons being with every 180 degree change the controls reverse. Electrical + Powerful + Good Flight Software would equal an awesome UAV |
