Pete -

How much voltage and current does a drone require to maintain a 'steady 
state' altitude of 300 ft ?

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. 

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 ?
