Drone PG Towing

Post by Matthew »

Any UAV experts out there?

Seems like a surveillance drone would be slow enough to aertow a paraglider.

No expert; but, Sunny at Highland told me that prices on the Rotax engine they use in the Moyes-Bailey Dragonfly, I think it is the Rotax 582, has doubled or more since they started to us Rotax engines for the surveillance drones.
Anyway, glad to be back after 3 weeks and are up for flying HG this weekend.
