R/C Video Sunday: Bombs Away

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Sunday, 7 of December , 2008 at 7:51 pm

There are bad ideas, and there are great ideas. I’m not sure which one this is, but I like it… Some enterprising guys from Flightography.com rigged up a Magpie AP R/C airplane with some water balloon bombs and unleashed mild naughtiness on their suburban neighborhood.

The Magpie AP is designed specifically for aerial photography (hence the “AP”), and comes with a tilting camera mount built into the body. Slap a cheap digicam in there, and maybe a servo to control the shutter (or just leave it on video mode), and you’re good to go.
