And here's some gorgeous video of people slope soaring RC gliders. It's amazing how similar the flight is to the eagle's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPopSm4bfAQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPopSm4bfAQ

  The one video I really remember was a drone with a GoPro I think in Bangkok and it was going straight down the sides of skyscrapers and going over the top of the city. It was an amazing video and I can't seem to find it anymore.

      Wow. The first thing I thought was, if you tried this in New York you'd be arrested for terrorism and thrown into a Guantanamo prison.

Is there a forum where tech info on this topic is discussed?

  It's called 'FPV' (first person view), and google searches for "RC FPV" and "FPV flying" should be fruitful. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php has an FPV section (and the rest of the RC stuff is obviously still relevant). I'd also suggest a couple YouTube channels. Both FliteTest and RCModelReviews have numerous videos covering various aspects of the RC and FPV hobby.

More than that, it is so very peaceful. But, I'm afraid people are going to hurt a lot of birds in making more videos like this.
