Not a bad idea at all, Menno... but real-time control over the internet is a pretty dicey thing. Network problems could ruin a good connection any time. Even if you get a internet connection fast enough to give some semblance of real-time control, you dont want a user to get disconnected while your helicopter is in mid-air! :-))

A radio controlled car would be a more cost-effective and low-risk venture...
