Hi

Just a reminder…

There is a prohibition against flying any type of unmanned aircraft, or “drone,” without specific approval includes the District of Columbia and cities and towns within a 30-mile radius of Ronald-Reagan Washington National Airport.

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 ?

At a HSMM meeting a couple of months ago I batted around the idea of a router in a drone.  So far the idea hasn't got off the ground, but I'm hopeful.

The problem is endurance.
