    I laugh at the tag, but there you go, a perfect use for it. That website should have that song playing on an endless loop that can’t be stopped the whole time you’re on it.

  Currently, in the US, it is illegal to fly RC planes or heli’s for profit, including aerial photography.  You can do it for free, you just can’t charge $$ for it.  That may change, or it may not, or the rules will be so difficult to overcome, that it will squash what seems to be a burgeoning business elsewhere.  Time will tell.

    That’s a weird law. What’s the rationale?
