The addition of cell phone technology (GPS, accelerometers and cameras) to RC vehicles alongside VR goggles that let you virtually sit in the pilot's seat of your own model airplane is a giant step for the industry. It would be pretty cool to combine that with a articulating simulator. That way we could all design and build 1/4 scale airplanes and go fly them even in bad weather.
Heck, it be good practice in each HBA design to see how the aircraft reacts to any hazards before actually taking to the sky! You could practice stalls, aerobatics, engine out scenarios, and even deploy your parachute. Of course there will be some that take it to the next level and might be inclined to combine 2 simulators and models for some good ol' Dogfights. With the live video feeds it would be fun to watch as well!
