That's an interesting question. But it begs another question: with even GPRS/CDMA 1x...could you get enough telemetry data *back* from the aircraft to make it flyable? I think you might find it's illegal in some jurisdictions to fly an unmanned craft out of visual range, too. Although I don't have a lot of hard facts to back that up ;-) -marc On 15/6/03 16:32, "Charles Craft" wrote: > If you wanted to fly a RC plane a long distance would there be too much > latency if the RC modules were cell phone modules. > > Seems like a cheap way to build a UAV using existing wireless infrastructure. > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList > mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu > -------------------------------------------------- Marc Nicholas Geekythings Inc.
