The one novel idea in this video is to control the whole thing with UMTS instead of an RC controller; the flyer is gyro-stabilized anyway, so GSM's nontrivial lag is not going to be a problem. Plus, you get the video downlink for free. In fact, I want a month of free time for christmas so that I can build one of these.

Longer flight time would be always be great though. What a great tool for search operations after natural disasters. Longer flight time would be always be great though.
