In my dreams, these things were called temperplexes and the police used them in cities to chase down dissidents and electrocute them into submission… but that was years ago. Nothing to worry about in our current timeline, I’m sure. Not to be melodramatic - I’ve just been thinking about the subject reviewing the FCC amateur radio rules regarding model aircraft. There’s a line in the Gordon West manual I’m reading where he states (perhaps jokingly? I’m not sure…), “If you ran more than one watt of power, every model in the country might take its command from your transmitter!” I don’t yet know enough about the technology to understand how this all fits together, but it makes me wonder what frequencies the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) used in intelligence, warfare and domestic police work operate on? Love the hot chick w/ model airplane from the 70’s pic buried in here…

Dude, are you hacking my computer or something? I was just looking up model airplanes the night you were, something I never look up. Myline of research was gyroscopes on YouTube.

What can I say? The New Tim Boucher hacks peoples computers to mess with their heads! Deal with it.
Yeah, you need the gyroscopes in order to get really accurate in-the-round measurements and footage through 3-D locations that Google Street View simply can’t capture with their limited paradigm… Oops, I don’t want to give away the OmnivateLLC business plan!
