Tom Harper of the Camino Real Trails Association uses a former
radio-controlled plane in the same way - but it's not radio controlled -
it's programmed with a small on-board computer to take off, go out and
photo and GPS suspect trail areas - and can transmit the data back -
monitor battery supply, return and land at takeoff site. Basically does
the same as the Scout, including errors adjustments and wind compensation.
The human just programs it and starts the engine. Cost about $1,200 but I
forwarded the aeryon Scout link on to him too.
