I've recently taken up fpv 250 quadcopter racing, it's maybe the most fun thing I've ever done without being flat on my back.
Just fyi they found the mobius recording from the story you mentioned in the OP, it turns out the dudes quadcopter was no where near shotgun mans back garden and he was just a trigger happy guy that has previous convictions for discharging a firearm in a residential area.
It depends, most of the small 250 size racers have a live feed video range of about 1-1.5km using the 5.8ghz frequency. If you switch to UHF radio systems (which in most countries you need a HAM radio license for) your range is pretty much only limited by your battery power in which case some of the lighter fpv planes can do 30-40km round trips on a single Lipo battery.
RC planes have been around a long arse time, If you were inclined too you could have done that 30 years ago. The only difference is they're affordable now.
