They always say don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but in this case, I would take the switchblade.

The "features" list at the end seemed to omit the ordnance it carries.
I assume that the pickup didn't blow up soley from having the aircraft strike it with its kinetic energy.
SIA

Now that's sweet. I love messing with RC copters & trucks. I wouldn't mind adding something like this to my collection.

LOL personal cruise missile. I like it. Having flown RC planes, I doubt something that small, with an electric engine could carry more than an M80 for a warhead. Maybe a Shotgun shell or .50bmg shell. Use the engine and battery for shrapnel?

There are types of explosives that are lightweight enough the small aircraft could carry them and they would provide a significant enough explosion to take out a vehicle or a couple of insurgents.

I saw a "big bird" RC show near here, planes were HUGE. B17s with four chainsaw motors on em, 8 foot wingspans.

Oh yeah. I know there are bigger planes, with much more powerful motors. I was just commenting on the tiny little thing shown in the video.

Biggest I've had was just over 7'. I'm sticking with smaller planes now so I'm not worrying about a $1500 investment turning into toothpicks
