Gack! You're going to take away all my glory! ;)
j/k. I'm having trouble with mine, and have not been working
on it enough, so if you do it before me, no big deal.

I'm jealous. I should have sent an application...the kit looks cool.

Why not use both, R/C and wireless LAN? You could have one as a
backup to the other; seems that most KOs happen as a result of
control failure. The R/C could be a backup, but the LAN could
allow you to program more capable and easier controls.
