The Predators (MQ-1) have (or had, don't know if they improved it) a ~6 sec lag on the video and no auto-land. All the videogame experience in the world won't really help you deal with that. My friend at work was out in Arizona while they were flying one and testing out the new auto-pilot landing software and one was coming in for a landing and right as it was about to touch down the whole thing flipped upsidedown and smashed itself into the ground. But flying UAVs would be fun
