Totally cool!!

Having said that, civil and military aviation agencies, and governments in general, around the world are already freaking out about the capabilities of these relatively simple and cheap FPV-RC/UAVs. Stuff like this will not go unnoticed. Expect the sledge-hammer approach sooner rather than later...

Similar to what The Register did with their PARIS (Paper Aeroplane Released In Space) project and what they're working towards with their LOHAN project, which is a rocket plane launch from a high altitude balloon.
