Well they always said that the limitations of the F-22 was the pilots body.

I was just talking with a friend who's a flight instructor for Insitu and it sounds like it would be slightly entertaining.

I know a few guys at Insitu. This kind of tech is a long ways from a ScanEagle. I get a laugh out of how many of their operators think they are pilots. Similarities, but still different worlds.

It won't accept any inputs from the pilot that will exceed the limitations of the aircraft or that would cause it to do something weird like tumble. I even read an article where a pilot lost control of one and "let go" of the controls... the airplane righted it self and then the pilot took over again. Imagine all that combined with a remote pilot using nothing more than an XBOX or PlayStation controller!

Hmmm..... how do I get that job? Pretty sure I could work from home.

haaaa taking out a MiG-35 in your pj's would be cool.
