RE: [RCSE] Did you see Nova this week?

I thought it was an excellent program. Did you notice the small surveillance drone developed for company commanders in the field to enable them to scout ahead before sending in patrols. Bungee launched with about a 3 or 4 ft wingspan. The launches were pretty wild but it worked. Looked like
