Default Best idea ever!

Watching a few FPV videos this morning I had a brilliant idea. It sprang from a video of 'best fpv videos" about people's reaction to a helicopter flying by them. Example was of a farmer tilling his fields when a heli flew around the tractor and the guy waved. Everybody waves at them, hillarious.

Anyway, what if FPV combined with scale? Set the scene: Helicopter flies up to someone (safe distance mind you) and they wave. The little scale guy in the cockpit waves back. Come on, that's brilliant! The YT videos would be priceless.

yeah that would be pretty funny, but the heli would need to be a 600 or bigger so that the viewer could actually see the little guy waving as you couldn't fly too close to the spectator for obvious safety reasons.

Although having a cockpit light on would draw attention to the pilot figurine- maybe the light and the waving could start together so it would catch the eye better.

We FPV pilots play with "scale" stuff sometimes
