How much voltage and current does a drone require to maintain a 'steady
state' altitude of 300 ft ?<br>
<br>
I'm thinking of strapping a Linksys WRT54G router's circuit board under
a drone and feeding power up to it via a 200' or 300' CAT5 cable. <br>
<br>
Could the drone draw its power off of the unused wires in a Cat5 cable
and provide a stable/stationary router platform/node up about 300' in
the air ?<br>

The problem is endurance.<br>
