Listen Raaaid, I know your cause:
I fly a lot of RC planes, and I've imagined with the recent FPV (First Persion View) cameras that work a little like track IR with live-video feed, you could carry out some cool dogfights.
I've thought of the ability to fit RC planes with metal BB guns or .22 ammunition and have a go at eachother but:
RC planes are expensive already, and constantly rebuilding them would cost a lot of money and time.
Also, you would have to set up a huge indoor bullet-proof hangar to have these fights in, since noone would want to stand anywhere near an RC-dogfight that fires real ammunition. It's a reason they have "robot-fights" in cages.
RC planes are often way more unstable, quicker and manouverable, but most importantly, smaller. So hitting anything would be near-impossible.
The idea is cool, but really I'd spend my bucks on a simulator where there's always a "refly" button than the alternative of collecting your burning wreck, salvaging what you can and spend loads of hours and $$$ on repairing it, maybe to have it shot down in less than 5 minutes.
Don't you agree?
I have more bets on a "Matrix" type simulator, where you can sedate your body somehow and link your brain to a "server" where you interact much like in a dream that you can control. You could actually enter a computer-generated spitfire, start it like in real life and go flying. Feel the engine vibrate, the wind blowing and smell stuff as if you were there.
However, like nightmares, you can wake up cold and sweating with a high heartrate. So some ways, experiencing being shot down or PK'd in a world that simulates the real thing... I'm a bit sceptical to that.
Anyways, keep fantasising
