Uploaded by projectcyclopsrpv on Sep 17, 2006
A demonstration of the Project Cyclops RPV - UAV system. This system works by transmitting live video from the aircraft using wireless video, which is received down to a fully functional cockpit console to view and control the aircraft, true RPV - UAV flying at it's very best!
This video was taken in the very early 1990's. This was flown at a public sanctioned event.

@lordlozz1 If you have a Ham Radio license you will be ok for transmitting for extended distances(miles). This was my dad's project, and he is not around anymore, so I'm just going on what he told me. But the video transmission distance exceeded the control distance... Everyone keeps asking me about legality, but if you fly at a local public sanctioned flying field, it should not be a problem. If you fly one around your neighbor hood, then yes, you could get into trouble...

@vanepico Electric motor won't even get it rolling. It had a pretty large gas engine with a 5 blade prop and it was still slow.

@vanepico Actually the picture quality is better, when I encoded the video from VHS it's lost some quality. The camera was a big bulky CCD camera, like the ones you see for surveillance outside a business back in the early 90's.
