I think he was only sarcastic !
By the way ... here it is in all its beauty !!!
Yes she is a beauty, looks like lots more metal than I had imagined, unless that's just shiny paint. My little brother flew his fixed wing RF-1 by Robo-Flight, as well as a quadcopter with a gyro-stabilized video camera, he is an agronomist for a major agricultural company, and a licensed pilot. The fixed wing is launched off a rail catapult, a flying wing design, and can be programmed to fly a grid, very kool. Now the quad-copter, that thing is nutso, totally autonomous, gyro stabilized video camera, takes off, flys to a waypoint, then to another, etc, etc, then it will recover to the take-off position. A review of the video shot was awesome, watching individual cows and calves, you could check the cows from the house, it is totally insane, and the camera, able to pan it down, up to the horizontal, very powerfull, and the beauty is its only 1500. US, can you imagine what the wall climbers could do with that, the walls would be no problem.......the fixed wing was being followed by a Turkey Buzzard, he came to check it out 3 or 4 times, what a day, all out in the old cow pasture. In the wrong hands, these things would be very bad news, but the ag applications promise a more environmentally friendly application of fertilizers and herbicides..... imagine the J-20 or F-22 as a photo bird, they might both be more effective than even the SR-71, but then that just reminds us how advanced Kelly Johnsons Black-Bird really was, amazing.
