 Those magnificent men, in their flying machines.

Load Compact Flash cards with software to control pilotless (obviously) model aircraft, for aerobatic displays.

Sell for a pretty penny (whatever one of those is worth these days)

I get the feeling Peter never read the first iteration of this idea, anyway.

       Aresti flashcards for aerobatics. Hmmm.

       Change of tack. Use them to run the programs for model aircraft.

       You know, when I was a kid, there was a car toy that had a little disk (think of the things that you put in an old 45 record to play it on a turntable with a 33 size spindle...) that you put in it to control it's path when it ran around on the floor.   

       Anyway, the shape of these disks were variable, and by changing them out you would get figure 8's, random looking patterns and rectangles and such. It was huge fun.   

       I wish I had another one of those. This idea has promise. (+)   

       LATER: You know I think I remember an airplane that did this too with a plastic disk... (madly searching the web now to try to repair an old memory.)
