Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Believe it or not, I need someone with a drone...
Anyone around Colorado Springs have a drone and are good with flying it? I need to run a ham radio antenna wire across the top of some trees, but need to make a 90 degree turn halfway through. I figure someone with a drone can knock it out real quick for me...

Damn, something I could do with mine, but I'm a bit far north.
Antenna wire cant be light, you're going to need a sizeable multirotor, unless its possible to do with pull string. I have a fairly large quadcopter, that is pretty overpowered and it only has a payload of about 5 or 6 lbs.

I have line launching rounds for the 37 mm the 90 degree makes it tough though
You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

Shows what I have to do. The green line is the antenna run, the red lines are power lines along the alley. If it wasn't for that, I could have just crossbow'd it, but even if I was to do fishing line, I just don't want anything to touch power and it would have to.

Actually that's a kickass idea...

You planning on just resting the wire in the tree or what?
