50 feet of nylon string is one thing, power and signal cables are another. The motors used in these aircraft are heavy on current, therefore the power feed needs to be heavy duty cable, so in a very short distance you are going to be trying to lift more cable than the aircraft is capable of lifting.
You *COULD* use thinner cable and send a high voltage feed up to the aircraft, but then you need to have the electronics to convert the high voltage to low voltage/high current, and that adds serious weight to the aircraft. Of course you would have serious safety issues in flying high voltage cable.
Then, how much can you move about until you run out of cable, or tangle it in trees, poles or whatever.
Nope, this is a dumb idea. |
