What is that one thing you've always wanted to do with RC? Whether it's planes, trains, or automobiles. And helis and multicopters, of course.
I'm not starting this thread looking for suggestions as to what you would love to see or for advice on how to do stuff. This is simply a hypothetical question on what you would do if you have the time, money, and disregard for physics to do whatever you wanted. Again, this is about what you personally would love to do if you could. Not about what others are doing. Not about what you want to see. But what you personally want to experience by doing it yourself.

I'll start with what I've been thinking about doing even since I got into this hobby and before I knew it was actually easy to do. I live about 8 miles from Blue Mounds State Park. Which is the highest point in Southern Wisconsin. Since it's the highest point, it is easy to see from my parents farm. With a keen eye or the help from binoculars, my parents farm can easily be seen from Blue Mounds State Park as well. I would love to either fly FPV from the State Park to my parents farm, or have it fly it's self, all the while recording a nice aerial video.
Of course I know this is possible. But I don't have the time or money to actually do it. But if I did I know that I can easily take off in a big field that is on top of the hill that is Blue Mounds. Or I could even hand launch it off of one of the two towers on top of the hill. Since I'm looking for an aerial video, and not an FPV experience, I could have some one throw it off of a tower with the GPS go to home feature set at my parents farm and then wait for the plane to show up.
Mine is simple enough, but rather lame. I'm curious to what others have always wanted to do.
Oh, and true to my name, I would love to have my own Mars Rover that I could control/drive around. But who doesn't want one of those?
