From John Holton
Rushden, Northamptonshire
I find the control of a small aircraft of 2 metres wingspan, flying at 50
kilometres per hour such a challenge that I can’t afford to take my eyes off it.
How much of a problem is a soldier going to have with a MAV that is only 15
centimetres across, travelling at up to 300 kilometres per hour?
The difficulty of hand-to-eye coordination in the control of model aircraft
makes it a minority sport around the world—so palmtop planes look as
though they are going to be more than just a handful.
